Pimple recipient area (2.5 months post-op FUE): popped out with 3 grafts

January 23, 2018
Asked By:tiredraffi in Düsseldorf, DE

Good afternoon. I recently squeezed out a pimple on my recepient area. I've been gently but firm, using my fingertips (not nails). I cleaned out right after with disinfectant. However, I noted that there were three hair shafts (probably original transplanted hair, since they were pretty thick) among the residual of the pimples (pus and blood). Did I damaged the follicle, precluding a future growth, or it will be just fine (new hair will re-grow since the follicles are ok)? Thank you in advance!
