Donor Area pimples and red

[Ray786]

Hello everyone,

I have a lot of pimples in my donor area and it’s kind of annoying and hurts a bit, what would you guys recommend to help with these pimples. I read online it could be from ingrown hair but I don’t know much, please let me know if this is normal .

That s normal, usually by 4 months they go away completely. If you could post a picture of the area we could assess it much better.

Be patient and try to refrain from squeezing them.  Just let them heal on their own.  If one gets infected (unlikely) consult your doctor.

@Ray786,

For starters how far along are you after your hair transplant procedure?  Based on what you are saying I assume you are around 2 to 3 months out from your procedure when it’s typical for pimples to form.  If you are around this stage of your procedure then you are very likely experiencing some ingrown hairs which will later turn into growth.  Growth typically starts between 3 to 5 months but on often cases pimples form a couple of weeks before it starts.

I hope this helps
