Acne like break out just on my forehead (not severe )? 2 weeks after my HT - Would this affect my final results? (photo)

martin_ford
Hello Doctors , I had HT 40 days ago , since 2 weeks ago I had acne like breakout just on my forehead, but none in my recipient area (I’m sure bc I check it everyday), I ignored it,  thought it was due to Finasteride or having oily skin after surgery. Now I learned that it could be folliculitis, would this affect my final result or lessen my graft survival ? Should i take an antibiotic? (It’s less than before after i take showers) Thanks dcs
