more ingrown hairs

[vocor1]

At about 5 weeks, I had a burst of ingrown hairs and a lot of subsequent regrowth. The "zits" were annoying, but the regrowth was quite envigorating.

Seems I'm hitting a second wave of ingrown hairs. Not as many, but seems like one is up there almost constantly.

I know that is a sign of further regrowth. It is kind of exciting!

I think joto even had an ingrown hair at 10 months.

Hopefully, more density and regrowth is in the works.

Still eyeing a small FUE session for the winter, though.

Vocor,

I knew I could expect some ingrown hairs, but am still surprised by every one of them.

 

It's been 6 weeks since I had my HT. I've had 4 ingrowns that I've found so far. Kind of annoying. I thought I was long past the pimple stage.

 

No significant growth yet. A certain number of the transplanted hairs have hung on and are growing. I'm going to have my barber take a closer look tomorrow and see if he's noticed any change.

My infestation lasted from the first into the third month. I must have had at least a few dozen. Now, at almost 8 months, every so often I'm surprised by one of the little buggers, but it's no longer an annoyance.

Is it a bad sign if you don't have any ingrowns? Does it mean that there is something wrong with the transplanted hair?

I am glad to hear that I am not alone. I developed pustule-like lesions @ about 7 wks post-op, which responded to antibiotics. I was concerned that they might inhibit new hair growth, but from what everything I have read, they shouldn't. I am now a little over 4 mos post-op & there hasn't been a significant increase in hair density, but I try to be patient.
