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

Answer: It is best to see a doctor for an examination if you are having issues. Pimples or infections should be treated in general.
There are other ways to conceal your procedure. However wearing a wig will cause scalp irritation and surely affect your overall transplant yield. The better you can take care of your procedure for 28 days post procedure, the more wonderful your yield!Hang in there...
It is best to see a doctor if you would be a good surgical candidate. Photos of thinning hair cannot determine if you are a surgical candidate. Your expectations may be different than what a surgery may provide. You may have further (future) hair loss that you may have not thought about. ...
