If in the donor area, its a deep suture working its way out. In the recipient, hard to tell. Stop in to your doc for a quick check. Once in a blue moon folks heal "too quickly" and build up a little granuation tissue and a small shot of steroid will fix that.

Thanks for the reply. When I asked my doctor via email about it 2 months ago he said it might be ingrown hair but I have not had a pimple nor any pain in that area.

Thanks for the reply Dr. Lindsey. It is right in my hair line (recipient area). If it is a deep suture wound is it something I should be concerned about? It doesnt seem like a big deal. Just a pinhead white scab of crust. Sadly I cant pop in to see my doctor. He is around 2000 miles away.
