I'm 40 years old, had FUE transplant of 1000 grafts 5.5 months ago. Almost immediately, I noticed folliculitis. I've consulted with a second doctor who informed me that some grafts were planted too deeply, so I took antibiotics. Now, at 5.5 months, it hasn't improved much and I'm still seeing ingrown hairs and some potential scarring, but everyone is telling me to just wait. Any recommended treatment this point? Can I expect any more growth? How can I repair this damage? Is it even possible?

Answer: Inflammation post transplant Thank you for taking the time to post. This is challenging and it's important to continue close follow up with your physician just like you're doing. If there is inflammation, be that folliculitis, infection-related or other, a number of treatments might be considered to halt the process and halt potential destruction of other hairs. The degree of current acute, inflammation, scarring, chronic inflammation and infection can sometimes be further evaluated with a scalp biopsy and culture. Depending on the results, a host of options are available to halt inflammation, not only antibiotics, but retinoids, steroid injections and other anti-inflammatory approaches
