If you cannot see your doctor, can't you email him?  You have no way to contact your doctor?  Pimples can be an issue after surgery.  Hair loss can be a sign of shock loss or just transplanted hairs shedding.

Anthony Bared, MD, FACS · Answer

At times this is seen after a hair transplant and this could be related to the hair follicle having become infected.  To prevent an exacerbation, see your surgeon to have it treated.

Rashid M. Rashid, PhD, MD · Answer

You can get an infection, especially since you are in public contact with others and your skin integrity is not the same.  It could also be a healing issue with the grafts. It is best to follow up with your doctor.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Pimples can be the results of small cysts that form from the hairs that do not fall out in the normal shedding after a hair transplant. They could also be the result of an infection. If you have more than one or two and if they are increasing, then go back to see your doctor.
