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

Question

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??

That raised area on your eyebrows is very normal, The skin is just taking a little longer to heal, Applying a Auriderm post-op gel cream has helped my patients in the past with this problem. Best,Dr. Anil Shah, MD FACS

The area you are showing looks to me like a cyst that probably came about from an inclusion of the hair follicle below the skin. This should be opened by your surgeon and drained.
