Sounds like what Bhavesh is suffering from.

Is it ok to pop pimples 2 months after surgery? I had 2000 grafts with FUE filling in my hairline and mid-core. Now I`m having pimples appearing in the donor and transplanted area, they last approximately 7 days, sometimes longer and are very sore. Been applying warm compresses which ease it a little but don`t make them go away. I`m tempted to have my partner pop them with her tweezers so they`ll heal faster. Will popping do any damage to my transplanted hairs or the donor sites?
Any advice appreciated, especially from people who`ve experienced this.

I never had any problems when I popped mine. I think you should be fine, however, if you're experiencing lots all the time it may be advisable to check with your doctor in case you have a mild infection.
Usually it's just the hairs stuck beneath the surface of the skin and nothing to worry about.

My doctor wrote back saying it's ok to pop them if that's how I want to deal with them. I sent him pictures, he does not not think it's an infection but wants me to keep in regular contact until they clear up. With his advice matching yours, my mind is at ease now.

That's good to hear.
Who was your doctor if you don't mind me asking?
