Asked By:abdulll in Saudi Arabia, SA

I had what seems to be a folliculitis 6 days ago in one single spot in the tranplanted area ; got prescribed augmentin and fucidin, it got subsided and became less red and smaller in size; but it is still there. I am happy with the amount of early growth in around 11 weeks, but how would it vanish, as I am concerned it would affect hair growth?
