Red, raised skin on eyebrow transplant site 2 months post. Area on inner corners remained this way since the operation (Photo)

ofieldApr 25, 2017
The area on the inner corners of my eyebrows have remained red and raised, and I'm concerned that this might be permanent like cobblestoning. I have asked my surgeon by sending these photos, and was told it was just skin irritation, but it's lasted for 2 months and still hasn't gone away. I've tried using hydrocortisone cream and antibiotics, but nothing has worked.Could anyone please tell me what they think this could be and how to treat it??

If a patient already has a tattoo, I believe it is beneficial because we already have a guide or template for placement of the new hair. I would not try to remove it first!Best of luck!
