Does this look like "cobblestone" problem? 3 weeks post op FUE. (Photo)

Question

I had a 4500 graft FUE 3 weeks ago and I'm worried about the cobblestone look I've been reading about. I've developed foliculitis in the donor area which I'm taking antibiotics for but also noticed these bumps in the temple area that appear quite prominent. I'm worried as from what I've gathered there is no fix for this. There are some specks on the top of my head which is more noticeable as I've started to shed a fair bit now. Looking for some advice please.

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

Yes, this is cobblestonning of the grafts as the grafts were not trimmed at all. In addition the placement was not random
