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

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.

Faiju04 -- this seems to be a common question on here. The short answer is don't worry. It really takes a full 12 months (and rarely up to 15 months) to know what the final result is going to be after a hair transplant. Its a slow process. At the 4-5 month mark, some of the hairs are just...

Thank you for your query. The amount of radiation after routine skull x-Ray should not cause damage to your grafted hair as long as common sense precautions were taken. Please let your Physician know who can help you with your concerns. All the best!
