It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  You may not be washing your scalp well enough.

I don't know too many details about your surgery case  except what you mentioned. it could be a variety of  issues and my best recommendation is to contact your hair surgeon as soon you can for evaluation and treatment. Good luck.

Bumps in the donor area after FUE is often retained FUE follicles that are burried in the scalp from technical issues created by the doctor. These 'bumps' may have to be drained.
