A hair transplant infection is a bacterial infection that can occur after a hair transplant procedure. The infection is caused by bacteria that enter the scalp through the tiny incisions made during the surgery. Symptoms of a hair transplant infection can include redness, swelling, pain, and discharge from the scalp.
Hair transplants are a surgical procedure that involves removing hair follicles from one part of the scalp and transplanting them to another part of the scalp. Hair transplants are most commonly used to treat male pattern baldness, but they can also be used to treat other types of hair loss. Hair transplants are a relatively safe and effective procedure, but there is a small risk of infection.
