Folliculitis is quite common with hair transplant patients and newly implanted hairs.
The commonest sympton is a pimple in your recipient area which is sore to touch.The hair is trapped under the skin and may be in a coiled position.With more doctors now using the trico closure of your donor area Folliculitis is becoming more common as the hairs on the bottom layer of donor skin are trying to grow through the scar tissue.
If you do experience this,certain parts of your donor closure area may take a little longer to return to normal.
To treat this,simply apply a really warm damp cloth to the area at least three times a day,if it persists after 4-5 days you should contact your doctor and maybe antibiotics will be prescribed to help clear it up.
Hope this helps any patients who recently have had a hair transplant.
