Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 27, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2019 Looks healed, obviously you can see scarring but that’s to be expected. I do see a pimple.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted July 31, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2019 Get used to the pimples, you will most likely see more. Try not to pick or squeeze them if you can resist. They typically take care of themselves and will heal on their own. Look at my website below and look back to September 2012. I included a narrative and pictures throughout my journey. Everyone is a bit different but it will give you something to compare to at the five week mark. Healing looks good and you have a lot to look forward to.

DrTBarghouthi Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 5 weeks is a relatively short period when it comes to healing after any surgical procedure. Just give it time for the whole area to heal. For any scar to mature, it can take months to years. Nonetheless, it does seem you have some pimples/ folliculitis. This generally resolves on its own or with some warm compresses. In some cases, antibiotic ointments or even oral antibiotics may be needed- rarely though. Best of luck going forward- remember it is a waiting game. Dr. Taleb Barghouthi approved and recommended on the Hair Transplant Network. You can schedule a virtual consultation with me here.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Looks like things are healing well if only 5 weeks post-op and 3700 FU's where extracted. If you start to get a bunch those little pimple like lesions in the same area then an antibiotic might be required. If they are just a few random lesions that usually clears up on its own.
