How to get rid of small lumps in root of hairs after hair transplant 6 years post? (photo)

Asked By:insearch in Oslo, MN

How to get rid of these small lumps? The performing doc says its not due to surgical mistake, but a reaction due to my skin properties. Not sure if I trust that since all info online about similar cases say that this is due to misplaced or not well "shaven" grafts. Any takes on this? Pic is 1 year post-op. Now 6 years post-op and redness is not bad, but lumps are still. Any possible treatments? Have considered fraxel laser, cortisone shots, and dermabration.

Answer: If it's been over 6 years, it probably would not get any better. Scars from surgery is very difficult to treat.
