Hi Everyone, Im hoping this network can help put my mind at ease. I am on day 20 post hair transplant, and was pretty slow for scabs to dry up and full off despite following the regiment quite closely. I ended up with lingering scabs at day 14 , 2x scabs were suspected as infected on day 15, and confrimed as infected with a script of antibiotics started on day 16. It now appears to be under control and healing well at day 20. Obviously my major concern is with how this will affect my long term growth. Im panicking slightly that I am already looking at a repair surgery, and it has potentially replaced all the excitement of the next few months with anxiety about growth. I have 2 questions really: 1. What are some of the opinions (preferably professional) on the infection and its implication for my results? 2. Is there ANYONE that has experienced growth after an infection? Because after trawling through the forum, I cant see a evidence of a single person having growth (granted a lot of people stop posting after a certain point). Photo 1: day 15 Photo 2: day 17 Photo 3: day 20 Thanks all

Hi @zerocool, did you have any update? Generally people stop posting once they're happy with their results and they move on with their lives haha

Hi @nycshearling, thanks for sharing. I am at day 20 post procedure with an infection appearing on about day 14/15. I was treated with antibiotics from about day 16 and the infection is under control and healing nicely. Just wondering if you had a follow up on how you fared over the past 15 months? As you can imagine, I have the same anxiety you did about potentially ruining my transplant and Im curious to see how your hair growed out? Thanks,

Hi @Ernesto - did you happen to have some follow up photos on how the hair has grown post infection? I have recently had a minor infection as well and curious to see how the transplant has held up. Appreciate anything you can share! Im sure you know the anxiety Im dealing with at the moment!

Hi there, was there an update to this? I have recently had a minor infection following my procedure (completed in the UK by a reputable doctor) and interested to know what level of growth you had?
