What Are These Bumps on the Side of My Scalp 5 Months After Transplant?

hi. i had a hair transplant 5 months ago, using the strip technique, only 1000 grafts due to receding at the temples and slight beginnings of an island forming, nothing too bad tho. i take proscar 1 mg per day. ive noticed lately that i keep on getting bumps and the odd pimple on my scalp. im not talking about the usual acne you get in the transplanted area as the new hairs are forcing their way through, thats been and gone. i mean bumps on my crown, at the side just above the ears, and at the back..whats going on!!!? its only maybe one or 2 a day, but i never had this before. could it be that the proscar is causing regrowth of new hairs in different parts of my hair…or is this just wishful thinking? could it be a bad thing and that follicles are dying?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

You should be asking these questions to the doctor who performed your surgery. Without examining you, I can only guess. In general, one can develop folliculitis after a few months from the surgery as the new hairs grow. Or there can be an infection (though rare) which can cause bumps. Or there can be foreign particles (also rare) that may be causing such reaction. Or you may have some other non hair transplant scalp issues. Get the point? I am not trying to brush you off on your issues, but it seems you have a specific concern that needs to be addressed with your doctor one on one.
