Pimples on donor area 8 months after FUE?

misterpeteMay 8, 2018
Had FUE 4000 grafts over 8 months ago, and everything was ok. For the past few weeks I've getting some random pimples on sides of my head, the donor area. I was wondering is this a regular thing?

FUE is just a harvesting method.  It does not relate to results.  If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE.  In general, FUE inherently has transection issues.

Photos cannot assess if you would be a candidate for surgery.  Usually this involves seeing a doctor in person so you can understand realistic expectations with respect to your ultimate goals.
