I have acne, and I plan on getting a hair transplant in the near future. If I happen to get a pimple on my scalp after surgery (just a normal pimple, not folliculitis), will that adversely impact the grafts? Thanks.

Answer: Pimples and hair transplants An occasional scalp pimple will not affect hair transplants. If you have a pimple that progresses into an active infection into the surrounding skin, this may adversely affect the hair transplants. Hope this helps!Johnson C.

Answer: Acne Are you being treated with Acutane. If so, a hair transplant should not be done. IF not, then a pimple that pops up should not be a problem.
