Spot on the hairline


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I’m currently coming up to 6weeks post op and a spot (white puss) formed on the transplanted hairline after washing the spot popped and was bleeding just wondering if this could affect the grafts/result?

 

Thanks

Can you post a photo? If so you should also send a photo to your hair transplant doctor to get their opinion.

Sounds like a pimple, did you take pictures?

 

I'd take this up with your physician and see what they have to say.

So there was only one pimple or were there more than that?

Even though it sounds quite normal - not to mention that at 6 weeks post-op you should be in the clear in terms of permanent graft damage - I would still reach out to your surgeon and supply photos to him if you have any doubts.

And especially if there are more than just one pimple....always a good idea to be sure it is not an infection.
