Pool of blood under recipient area of hair transplant? (Photos)

kdavik
I have an area about th size of a quarter that is swollen. Yesterday when I applied pressure, blood shot out through a follicle and splattered on the mirror. More blood came out until the area was flat, but filled up again after. Today again I drained the blood and it came out through a different follicle this time. Doc didn't say much but prescribed antibiotics. Whats going on? Everything is still very red and looks terrible. Some individual follicles seem to be infected, look like pimples
