Dark spots at penetration point of FUE hair transplanted grafts. (photo)

Hadese
I am 24 days post op of 3000 FUE grafts. Many of the hairs have a black spot at the penetration point of the scalp. My question is what causes this darkening of the base point of penetration of these hairs. Is it a cluster of hairs, is it hair growing back, is it dead hairs, if so will they grow back, or is it a poorly implanted hair? At this point it gives the appearance of "plugs" which of course is not the desired look... Thank you in advance for the replies.
