How should I treat pimples all over donor area after hair transplant?

sab321
I had hair transplant in Turkey 5 weeks ago, 4800 grafts. I have been experiencing shock loss and pimples on my donor area. I am more worried about pimples, they are painful and started appearing after 2 weeks of surgery. I sent my contact in the clinic some pics but he suggested that are in grown hairs. I am worried if this is an infection as they are so many all over donor area. No issue with transplanted area so far. I know you can say much from picture but please advise as much as you can
