Follow-Up: Do I need another transplant to make my bumps go away on my hairline? What are my options to fix this? (photo)

Question

I got a FUE hair transplant late April of last year for the temples of my hairline. Although my overall results of my hair line is ok, some of my hairs are along the hair line are growing in with bumps at the root. It looks kinda pluggish. My doctor prescribed my 1% Clindamycin Phosphate twice now and i still have them.

The scarring or raised bumps will not go away with another surgery.  You also risk more bumps with another surgery.  This may not happen but it is a risk you must consider.  Another surgery may help fill in the gaps making the bumps less noticeable.

Bumps after a hair transplant can take several months to resolve, but I would make sure to continue seeing your doctor until they've resolved or if they get worse.

I would advise you to go see Dr. Robert Bernstein in New York. Let him examine you and give you a suggestion on what to do
