I had a hair transplant in November 2022 - 3400 grafts via FUE. I am still getting pain in both donor and recipient area. Pain in the donor area is a sharp stabbing - like someone with a needle. Pain in the recipient area is like someone pushing hard with their fingers on my head. I've contacted the surgeon several times, so far the options have been: We'll monitor it. It may get better in time. Change shampoo. Antibiotics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have an area about th size of a quarter that is swollen. Yesterday when I applied pressure, blood shot out through a follicle and splattered on the mirror. More blood came out until the area was flat, but filled up again after. Today again I drained the blood and it came out through a different follicle this time. Doc didn't say much but prescribed antibiotics. Whats going on? Everything is still very red and looks terrible. Some individual follicles seem to be infected, look like pimples
I had FUT about six weeks ago, and my external stitches were cut but the surgeon also used dissolvable stitches. I was told all of the stitches would come out within 3-4 weeks. I think they're all out. The issue is, when I touch my scar, I feel like there is a bump across it, like the scar is protruding, through the entire scar. Is this normal? I travelled to see my doctor so I've talked to him via email, he feels it could be folliculitis/pimples and I should add antibiotics.
I have an upcoming hair transplant procedure and I was wondering is it ok for me to take antibiotics before the actual procedure. I have been prescribed antibiotics for a month for something called prostatitis, the nonbacterial form. This prescription will not affect anything will it?
I got 2 kind of swollen abscess on my head in transplanted hair area. I got it checked out by my doctor today and he said it was an abscess and he prescribed me antibiotics and said to see a dermatologist next week. I was wondering if this will cause any damage to the transplanted hair if taken care of early. Also just for my knowledge does a abscess form to indicate an infection or is it the middle stages of an infection. Thanks in advance.
Hello doctors, I had a hair transplant 3 weeks ago and am now experiencing some small pimples in the recipient area. I've been told to take Flucloxacillin 500mg 4X a day for 7 days. I haven't heard of this specific antibiotic being prescribed to other hair transplant patients before. So my question is, can it affect the survival and growth of the transplanted grafts or have any other negative effect on the final result of my hair transplant? Thanks in advance for your replies. All best, J.
