Pimples After a Hair Transplant

Should there be any concerns if pimples occur some time after a hair transplant?

Typically if pimples are going to occur, it will be at around 3 to 5 months post procedure, as the hairs start to regrow.  For most patients this is usually several pimples at a time, which are best treated with topical antibiotic ointment, heat pads, and if they are stubborn, a short course of an oral antibiotic.
