Answer: Folliculitis after hair transplant This sounds like folliculitis which is usually self limiting however in some cases one may need antibiotics or if the "pimple" is big enough it may need to get drained. Folliculitis may be seen days or even months after a hair transplant. The simple folliculitis usually does not affect growth of the transplanted hair. You didn't mention that you actually went in to see the hair transplant surgeon. You may want to do this especially if it is not resolving.

Answer: Scalp infection 2 months after FUE It sounds like you have folliculitis which can occur after a hair transplant. Antibiotics are the correct approach. Cultures are a good option to ensure you are on the appropriate antibiotic. This usually resolves but may need a few courses of antibiotics. I recommend following up with your hair transplant surgeon or dermatologist. Best of luck.
