Why Am I Getting Pimples on my Scalp 2 Months After a Hair Transplant?

I’m getting pimples on my scalp 2 months after hair transplant surgery. Why is this happening? Is this a sign of an infection?
As new hairs begin to emerge a few months after the hair restoration procedure, either in the area of the scalp that has been transplanted or adjacent to the donor incision, isolated pimples may occur.
These pimples are self resolving and should be left alone. However, if you experience many happening simultaneously, it is best to see the doctor for a follow-up evaluation. These pimples are surface irritation as the hair emerges and only rarely represent ingrown hairs. The areas fully resolve and do not effect hair growth of transplanted hair in the area.
