2 months post FUE. I've been getting spots (acne) containing pus. Is this normal? Have I just lost the hair? (Photo)

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 :)
