Beard to scalp transplant with folliculitis in the beard donor

[secondtryuser]

Hi everyone,

If someone gets a beard hair (donor) to scalp (recipient) hair transplant and there is folliculitis in the beard, does this folliculitis get transplanted in the scalp? I've read folliculitis is bacteria in the hair itself so it makes sense the scalp would have folliculitis after transplant. Can anyone shed their thoughts or experiences on this?

Thank you in advance 😉

Never heard of folliculitis being transfered from the beard hair to scalp. 

I have developed folliculitis in the beard area after hairs were extracted..... But the folliculitis was only in the beard donor area where the beard hair was extracted.
