2 months post 3200 grafts fue i started getting acne on the transplanted area some full of pus. After a shower they tend to burst but I've sometimes helped the stuff out & noticed that along with the pus, hair also comes out and with what looks like a follicle? I am worried about this and not sure what i need to do. Do you think it's the follicle coming out along with the hair and I've lost those hairs? I apologise for the description and thank you for your help :)

3 weeks post op, its fairly safe to shave. Transplanted hair does not grow immediately; first it goes into resting phase then starts growing 2-3 months post op. You should not worry if it doesnt grow back now.
This is a skin disease that is common in my own family so I understand it from a patient point of view. Hair and vitiligo are unrelated. You can go forward with a hair transplant (FUE) and if you get vitiligo in the wounds, I guess you can treat it with Scalp Micropigmentation, something we are...
