Hi doctors, The more I scratch them the bigger they get. I only have lots of bumps on the back of my head the side are perfectly fine and the recepient area is fine too. Please help my doctors and also is my scratching exacerbating the bumps.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen. Rubbing your head should not be an issue.

I would suggest you to wait at least one month before you start training again. After one month try not to get hit from your transplanted area.

It is very difficult to undo a bad hair transplant result.  It is very difficult to kill the hairs that grew out.  Epilated hairs may grow back.
