Hey all Thanks for the replies. Speegs, I'm not in Austin at the moment but would love to meet up when I am next. I went to the Restora clinic. They bring a tech in from Houston. No licensed hair surgeon on staff. Only reason I went through with it there was bc my brother in law had recently had the procedure done by them and his scalp was perfectly fine. I was not so lucky. I'm not going to get another HT done even if I could afford the best doctor in the country, because my donor hair is limited, and my hair is very fine. I'm not going to risk taking Finastyride...I had testicle pain when I tried taking it before. My only options are repair the scalp or wear a hair system.. The bumps are hard to see from photos. Very small all over my head. They can easily be felt. Not noticeable in dim light. Just skin raised up slightly like a pimple wherever the grafts were placed. If anyone has heard of anyone having success with improving this let me know. Chris

Hey guys! First post here... I had 2000 hairs transplanted via Neograft a year ago in Austin. The grafts were not placed deep enough in the skin so I am left with 2000 little bumps all over my scalp. In addition I still have irritation/slight redness everywhere. Of course now I realize I was not a good candidate for HT being a diffuse thinner at age 29. I'm now at a point where my hair is much thinner overall than it was before the surgery. I can barely get away with styling my hair but I mostly wear a hat. Saw a dermatoligist yesterday and he gave me some scalp injections to help with the irritation and prescribed some shampoo. Said there is nothing I can do about the bumps now...which is what I've heard from other doctors as well. My question is for anyone else who has dealt with the same issue. Have you had any success with diminishing the bumps and/or inflamed scalp? Have you just shaved and learned to live with it? I am going to be using a hair system from here on out if I can't improve my scalp enough. Has anyone gone that route? My main concern is how my scalp will manage living under a hair system for the rest of my life. Probably no way of knowing beforehand. Thanks guys. This is the hardest thing I've ever gone through and am just looking for some support/advice! Chris

Hi Jay. I got a hair transplant done a year ago and am experiencing the same issue. Redness and tiny bumps where hairs were placed...aka tenting. Just wondering how your scalp managed these past 6 years. Did you find any success eliminating the bumps? Have you just lived with it? I've been looking into all options to heal my scalp, and am also considering wearing a hair System since I wear a hat everyone I go anyways. Chris
