Red raised spots on donor area after hair transplant (Photo)

danielss8
Hello! I’m not getting much luck from the doctor/surgeon that did my procedure as I don’t get an answer from them. I’m 4 weeks post hair transplant tomorrow and I have developed these red raised slightly sore spots on the donor area. Are these a sign of infection? Or ingrown hair? Is there something I can do or apply on? Thank you in advance
