Senior Member wantego Posted August 26, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2008 Are they a good sign? Do you just leave them alone and hope they sprout? I'm looking to read as much pimple wisdom as possible.

See my tips - Tips Thanks Spex. I'm glad I can just leave them alone. They do not bother me at all. Hopefully as you said they are a good sign of things to come. 4374 grafts-7/2/2008-Dr Rahal 485 singles 2336 doubles 1526 triples 16 quads 9809 total hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 26, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2008 I am at 7 weeks now and it looks like I'm trading my redness for a few pimples. Never thought I'd be happy to see them. A couple of them are pretty sensitive and they are pretty damn tempting to pop!

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 29, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just a quick question for you HT veterans. When you began getting post-op pimples/in-grown hairs, how long was it after that did you start seeing growth?

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 aaron1234, In my experience, I started feeling than seeing signs of hair penetrating through the scalp about 3 weeks to a month in the area where pimples formed. Wantego, You can also apply a warm damp cloth to the pimples to help soften the skin which may help the pimple dissipate more quickly and/or not get as inflamed. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Abby Posted August 29, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 29, 2008 I am 5 months post-op and have noticed an increase in pimples. Some around the crown area resemble GOBSTOPPERS (ouch!!). My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Mohmand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
