Asked By:TolgaSuley58 in London, GB

I have had an FUE hair transplant 6 weeks ago and have noticed a few red spots on the back of my head, I have seen on RealSelf this is quite common after surgery and my doctor said it was normal and to “pop” them gently. I use a prescribed shampoo everyday and massage the donor area gently a few minutes Is this something to be worried about or when should I be worried? Thank you Doctors.
