FUE: Bumps on the very back of my head. (Photos)

April 13, 2017
Asked By:Sony pictures in Vancouver, BC

I got a FUE hair transplant 47 days ago. I'm having an issue. I feel some bumps at the very back of my head where my head touches the pillow (pictures included). Ive been feeling these for quite some time. I've continued to sleep on my back but have now shifted to sleeping on my side. I thought these bumps would go away but they have not. Will these bumps go away on their own or should I be taking antibiotics. Will this effect my final results? Thanks for your responses doctors.
