What are these black spots on my scalp that look like scabbing 2 months post FUE op? (Photo)

Asked By:ay4188roMc4 in Ottawa, ON

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would have a say with regards to these black spots that look like scabbing 2 months post due op. The thing is, I had scabbed 11 days after post op and someone who looked at scalp says that it looks like the scabbing is possibly from the inside. Would be an infection? I don't feel sick at all.
