8 months after beard transplant and still redness, pimples, and a raised layer of skin? (Photos)

cafare52
8 months from beard transplant in a developing country. Has been healing but now healing has slowed and still a lot of redness-most of the recipient area (mustache) is raised above the rest of the skin where hairs were transplanted. Is there something I (or a doctor) can do to smooth down this seemingly extra layer of skin? Can I expect the redness to continue to fade with time as well as the raised layer of skin? Going to see my doctor is not an option as I now live in Vietnam. Thanks!
