Regular Member ArgentineInParadise Posted June 7, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello HRN community, I am at 14 days post-FUE (3000 grafts to lower hairline) and I'm seeing a lot of bumps in the recipient area (photos attached). My clinic says that these are pimples and should go away on their own, but I wanted to check with the community for a second opinion and advice. I'm hoping that these bumps are just pimples from excess oil, and I'll continue to wash the area twice per day. But I've heard bad stories about cobblestoning, subcutaneous scarring etc. so I wanted to check here. How do these photos look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ArgentineInParadise Posted June 7, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello Melvin, thanks for your reply! I was the guy from a few days ago who had very heavy scabbing; you advised me that it didn't look good, and I had to wash ASAP. I think I was too gentle, and worried about dislodging my grafts. I was washing them by pouring shampoo/water mix over them, without touching. I soaked them in shampoo and conditioner at day 11 and 12, and they all came off very easily. I think these bumps may be clogged pores/acne from having scabs too long...but am also concerned about something more serious like folliculitis or cobblestoning/scarring.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 Pimples are certainly expected at this point but you may want to contact your surgeon. Glad to hear the scabbing came off cleanly. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).

Senior Member John1991 Posted June 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 Doesn't look infected. To me the white stuff looks like crusts. Unless I'm just not seeing what you're talking about, nothing looks awful. It wouldn't hurt to contact your surgeon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ArgentineInParadise Posted June 12, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 12, 2022 Thank you gents for the replies! I think it was just some mild post-op folliculitis, but the bumps are going down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
