Pimples a Couple of Days After Hair Transplant?

Good day,

When I had hair transplant, a couple days later I noticed there developed small (about size of pinhead) yellow “pimples” at base of transplanted hair. is this common ? could it be a dermatophyte infection or tinea and is it problematic ? Thank you !

At two days after your hair transplant, these pinhead pimples you are talking about may be the tops of the hair transplants. The skin shows in some surgeons hands if they do not trim the grafts closely. At just two days, I would doubt an infection, but certainly go back and ask your doctor to take a look at what you’ve described to me.
