No pimples four months after a hair transplant? Is this normal?

[SeanT1]

Hello again everyone, hope you're all enjoying your evening.

A lot of people say they get spots and pimples on their recipient area after a hair transplant, that it's new hair pushing through.
What's strange is that this has never happened to me, I've not had noticeable (or large) pimples/spots at all.  Only a tiny red spot once or twice.

Perhaps this doesn't actually happen to everyone?
What are your thoughts (four months post operation)?

Just had a look at your transplant journey thread, you're hair is doing very well!
Much better than mine, glad to see your early success.

4 month crew checking in!  Ive had like 4 pimples this far.  And they were barely inflamed.  Pretty smooth sailing for me.

Having some pimples when the hair starts growing in is normal, but not everyone gets them. If you don't have any then consider yourself lucky with that part of the process.
