Pimple (slight acne) in hairline immediately pre-op

Hi,

I have a question that may be considered a little curious. I have slight acne which I manage with a combination of two topical gels: benzoyl peroxide and epiduo (a combination of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene). 
 

I’m booked in for a hair transplant in a couple of months, and will avoid these gels from 5 days pre-op at my doctor’s request. 
 

I am a little concerned - what if I get a spot or pimple in the area of my skin on my forehead precisely where the doctor will place the grafts to construct the new hairline? Will this cause a problem for the doctor? Will it cause a problem for the grafts, minimising the success of them? 
 

Thanks in advance everyone!
