Ingrown hair/ pimple

[Macbernal]

I had a white looking ingrown hair or pimple so I just squeezed it lightly and it came out like a plug. In the plug was 4-5 hairs. Bled for like 1-2 min the stopped. Would that be lost graft?

How long ago was your surgery? With the bleeding, it does sound like you lost a graft.

I just read that you're 2 months post-op. Highly unlikely to be a lost graft at this stage. Sometimes pimples can bleed to I would guess that it was nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the reply Matt. Just when it came out there was 4-5 hairs that came from under the skin that was my concern

Pimples occur due to ingrown hairs, more specifically the grafts are starting to grow. Sometimes they are due to transected hairs in the tissue that are eventually seen as foreign bodies and the skin tries to expel them.

Remember that you were due to shed transplanted hairs and what you saw could merely be some of those that hung on a bit longer.
