Senior Member scooter Posted October 14, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes and yes. For me I also got some pimples and boy did they hurt. They only lasted a few days. As for the grafts that never shed, its also normal that some grafts do NOT shed but rather start to grow. At 2 months , most of what you would have shed should already have done so. Hang in there another 2 months and then the magic begins.

Senior Member Loags79 Posted October 15, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2014 The pimples will pop themselves, usually during hair washing or afterwards when you're drying your hair. Do not touch them with dirty fingers. Apply betadine ointment twice a day on the pimples to control infection and the leave the suckers alone as best as you can. my HT thread: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/175267-dr-radha-fut-3261-grafts-photo-word-heavy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted October 15, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yep. Totally normal. I had some bigger ones pop up around the 2 month mark as well. Even just this week one appeared on the side of my scalp - but much less painful and considerably smaller than before, and this is around week 10. Try to leave them alone as much as possible... It always takes a hell of a lot of self control for me to not want to pop them and get rid of 'em. I tend to get obsessive with those things. In the meantime, let's just keep waiting on that magic that's right around the corner.... I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.

Senior Member Garageland Posted October 15, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2014 As others have said perfectly normal. If they have a white head you should pop them if they are just red bumps then you don't need to. You can apply a wet clean hot flannel to the area with some pressure that might help a little. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.
