Senior Member TEXAN35 Posted July 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2021 I had a FUE around three and a half month before 1500 mostly hairline. Hair growth has been just ok but I guess that's normal for 3 month period. But I do have few pimples (5-6 )like shave bumps on recipient area and some irritation time to time. Is it something I should be concerned about ? Should I apply Aloe or Eucerin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JDEE0 Posted July 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2021 It's completely normal, essentially the equivalent of ingrown hairs and just means that the new follicles are starting to sprout, which makes sense as 3-4 months is really when this should be starting to happen. So yes to that also, would be extremely unusual to have any impressive growth at the stage you're at now, even an early grower generally wouldn't have any impressive growth for another few months yet.

Senior Member TEXAN35 Posted August 22, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just an FYI to anyone else who is having more than normal pimples or itching because of skin sensitivity. So at around 3 months I had a couple of big pimples and many small ones which are normal. The big ones were becoming kind of crusty and were very visible from close and I was worried that they can slow down the hair sprouts from coming out. I did apply cold pressed organic aloe which reduced my itching on pimples but it was still not gone. I wish I had been applying aloe sooner. I applied polysporin ointment for few days upon consultation and the pimples were gone and the recipient skin looks much better. I also applied all clear white medical Vaseline once a while to keep the itching low. Of course please consult your doctor before this but its an option.

Senior Member LaserCaps Posted August 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2021 the follicle comes with a gland. At the time the hair starts growing, the gland does not know what to do and the pimple forms. Half a dozen is the norm. Once the hair comes out, all will return to normal. Also be aware, bacteria crawls in there and can form a much larger pimple. Just treat it like a zit, clean it and it will also dissipate. Talk to your doctor, he can give you a prescription for a steroidal cream or shampoo to keep this in check if it gets out of hand. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.
