Regular Member Oliver Posted September 30, 2001 Regular Member Share Posted September 30, 2001 I had a HT about 6 weeks ago (1880 FUs) and I have a question for anyone with knowledge regarding sores coming up from "hairs trying to get out". I was instructed to poke these small sores w a needle to release the blood that is under. This has been rare and I have only had to do this about 5 times. The problem is that I have one small area about the size of a beebee that is in one location, and won't go away! I have tried to pop it, but my concern is that it feels hard underneath the skin and wont crack, almost like a mini graph that is just simply trapped under the surface. No where else on my head does it feel like this spot everything else seems fine. What should I do about this beebee, and has anyone else had healing experinces they can share?

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted October 3, 2001 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2001 What you are describing is called folliculatice (not sure of exact spelling) and does some times occur during the post surgical healing and new hair growth stages. It is normally a minor problem, as minor as the old zit in high school - annoying but not serious. Some times a surgeon in rare cases will prescribe medicine if it is trouble some. Alex is right. You need to ask your surgeon. I will transfer this post to the "ask a surgeon" forum so we can all get a real medical opinion on this issue. Pat - editor Thanks for reading this post.

Regular Member Oliver Posted October 5, 2001 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 5, 2001 I truely appreciate you responding to my posting. The sore I mentioned has actually gone down significantly and is 90% healed. Right now I am in a lonnnnggggg waiting fase, which I am wondering if any hair is going to come out at all. How long was it from when your procedure was done to when you had hair coming in? It has been 7 weeks since my HT and I have seen no results. Is this normal? Thanks once again!

Guest Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 Oliver - You surgeon should have told you it will be 3-4 months before regrowth starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
