Follow up. Second Doctor Opinion-Hematoma on the donor area due to injections. It's soft & shrinking now.

November 18, 2015
Asked By:GrowFollicleGrow in Jeddah, SA

I went to another ISHRS doctor & he said it is a hematoma. Wait it out. Shall go. PLEASE, help me out on this with some specificity. Attaching pics. Should I use hot compresses & massages. It is slowly shrinking in size, & not hard any more. Becoming tender & moving down. Any sort of help is appreciated. Heck, we may have ISHRS surgeons here, but it is you all who have defined hair restorative surgery and relayed it. I'm attaching post op 10th day pics for a close scrutiny, it's getting on to me

30 days after FUE, and few pimples came on my head. Is it normal? I'm also losing a lot from my normal original hair. (photo)
William Rassman, MD (retired) says:

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.
