Hey guys. I had my HT surgery around 5 weeks ago. I've been getting red spots on my head, quiet a lot. Does this mean I'm losing grafts?? It doesn't look too healthy. I have been picking them a little.I attached 2 pics for you guys to see. All advice really welcome.
loads of spots after 5 weeks!!

Those are probably zits caused by hairs that are growing in--it's not uncommon. Studies have shown that the grafts are firmly anchored by ten days and can't be pulled out; there's no risk of that at five weeks. Plus, if a graft gets pulled out, you'll definitely see a decent trickle of blood from the site.
Bottom line: you have nothing to worry about. -
Your first hair transplant is the most bipolar. There is nothing anyone can say or do to get you to stop thinking about it. You are going to think about it every day for at least 8 months.
The bumps are ingrown hairs and dry scalp . Nothing to worry about . Its perfectly normal everyone gets em.Comment

Just wanted to add that as tempting as it can be to pick/squeeze at the pimples, it is best to leave them alone and just let time take care of them.
