Kikito Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi community, I am now 4 months post op and seeing that some areas on my head seem less dense. I can see from old photos that it's the exact spots that were covered in pimples. It's a little unsettling. Have you also had such experiences yourselves or have you been able to observe them in others? Did those hairs grow back after all? I hope you can share me your experiences/wisdom. Have a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member deitel130 Posted February 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2021 Were there a lot of pimples? Did they cause an infection? Did you speak to the clinic about this at any time? If you pics of the pimples and the areas now would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member rj. Posted February 11, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) long time lurker here. thanks for all the info on HRN, which has helped me massively in my research over the past few years. interesting topic and was going to start something similar. not a pimple, but after I had a HT a couple of months ago, the largest scab left a dent on my hairline/just behind when I removed it during hair washing. I'm not yet concerned and have of course contacted the clinic, but has anyone else experienced similar? I'm still in the very early stages, but it does appear far less dense than the other areas.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted February 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2021 it's hard to really say for sure without seeing any pictures, but generally speaking it is common to get some pimples at around the 4 month mark or so when the new hair is starting to grow. If it doesn't seem like you have an infection then you may be able to simply wait a few weeks and see if new hair starts growing in those areas.

Senior Member gillenator Posted February 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2021 Many of these pimples are ingrown hair that is just starting to sprout...as always, it's a wait to see how the regrowth process goes.
