Pimple? Ingrown? Or infection? One year post FUE (Photo)

Thriving484790Sep 17, 2023
Hello doctor, I am not sure if this is a pimple or an infection? Maybe an ingrown hair? Is there any thing I should use for it? This is the one pimple on my recipent area. It came up like 2 weeks ago and hasn’t shown any signs of leaving . Is there a cream or something I should buy to use for it? I tried neosporin and it didn’t work. I am about a year post fue now.

Yes, you can use either FUE or FUT to even out your hairline. This would be a relatively small procedure.
