Several years ago I had a hair transplant done by a hair restoration group in Virginia.  The results were abysmal and I now have continuing problems with in-grown hairs. For example, I have three of them now. These in-grown hairs are unsightly and very painful and they take a very long time to heal.  No one there ever told me that this would be a possible outcome of the surgery.

Is there anything that can be done to get rid of them?  Do I have any legal recourse?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Fred

Thank you for your question.
In order to find a solution to this problem, it’s important to arrive at a diagnosis.

(1) Are you noticing bumps in the skin which fill up with whitish or yellowish material and then “pop?”
(2) Are these bumps small like pimples or large like cysts?
(3) After they pop, does a hair appear where the bump used to be?
(4) Do they always appear in the same place or can they appear all over your scalp?
(5) Do they only occur in the transplanted areas or do they also appear in the non-transplanted areas? Read the Story
