FUE Hair Transplant. Is this pus normal? (Photo)

Shiva12345
After 1 month and 20 days of FUE hair transplant, my forehead got swollen again. The next day, I was seeing pus formation on the transplanted area. When I take a shower, the pus goes away, but forms again when my scalp gets dry. Is this normal for FUE hair transplant? Have I damaged any hair follicles because of this? If not, what antibiotic would you recommend? I am asking this because I had done this surgery at a international country and I am outside right now...thats why
