1 year post operative, I have three white, painless bumps. Will a laser possibly remove them? (Photo)

Asked By:Chhfiei174849 in Columbia, South Carolina

It’s been one year since I had a beard transplant performed, and ever since 4-5 months post-op, I’ve had three white, painless bumps. Grafts we’re put into this area, so I’m assuming they’re buried grafts possibly?? My surgeon and dermatologist have no idea what it could be. Will a laser possibly remove them?
