Hello doctor, I am not sure if this is a pimple or an infection? Maybe an ingrown hair? Is there any thing I should use for it? This is the one pimple on my recipent area. It came up like 2 weeks ago and hasnt shown any signs of leaving . Is there a cream or something I should buy to use for it? I tried neosporin and it didnt work. I am about a year post fue now.
Hi, i have a fue procedure done almost 3.5 months ago and now have some pimples. One is black, what should i do? Should i make a hole and try to drain the fluid? I shampoo everyday and try to keep it as clean as possible. I apply minoxidil once a day but try to stay around the pimples. Thank you.
Hi, I've started to develop some nasty looking pimples that are sore to the touch about a month after my FUE. Is this normal? I'm worried it's folliculitis. I have contacted my doctor and am awaiting a response. Thank you.
Im now 6 weeks post FUE and donor area had many pimples and veg itchy. My doctor said this normal and I cant find anywhere on the net who has had anything similar. Im convinced its a infection. Doctor aid these are ingrown hairs and will go within 3 months. Just so itchy. Can I have a second opinion please. Hope someone can help
I recently had a FUE procedure done, I'm 2 weeks post-op. My donor area has broke out into alot of pimples. My doner area is sensitive and painful and also itches alot. I have finished all my antibiotics and was told by the medical office that performed my FUE this is normal and I should wash my hair with baby shampoo x2 a day and use warm towels to pop the pimples (ingrown hairs). This has not been working, I have been researching and all I can find is that FUE is not good for curly hair.
I had my fue hair treatment 3 weeks ago now and had done 6000 graphs. Still till now my donor area is still red, itchy, and some pimples are showing. Laying on the back of my head is very irritating. Is there a possibility it may be infected ? Im also shedding a lot of hair from my treated area.
I have recently had a FUE hair transplant 2 months ago, realized I've been getting pimples with white heads on my donor area. I've consulted the surgeon but was told to take antibiotics to clear it. I have been taking the antibiotics and it seems to reduce some pimples but not entirely. Is this a normal effect after hair transplant? Or is it a sign of infection. I have taken precautions not going under the sun without a hat, going swimming etc. Please give me some feedback. Thank you
I have had an FUE hair transplant 6 weeks ago and have noticed a few red spots on the back of my head, I have seen on RealSelf this is quite common after surgery and my doctor said it was normal and to pop them gently. I use a prescribed shampoo everyday and massage the donor area gently a few minutes Is this something to be worried about or when should I be worried? Thank you Doctors.
Good afternoon. I recently squeezed out a pimple on my recepient area. I've been gently but firm, using my fingertips (not nails). I cleaned out right after with disinfectant. However, I noted that there were three hair shafts (probably original transplanted hair, since they were pretty thick) among the residual of the pimples (pus and blood). Did I damaged the follicle, precluding a future growth, or it will be just fine (new hair will re-grow since the follicles are ok)? Thank you in advance!
