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

September 17, 2023
Asked By:Thriving484790 in San Ramon, California

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.
