I am about 7 weeks post op but over the past week or so I have been getting pimples in the area I had done.Has anyone else had this and what did they do ? I don't want to mess any of the work up.

I did not have this problem (folliculitis), but I was instructed to apply moist warm soaks and antibiotic ointment to the areas 3 times a day and notify my doctor so he can prescribe specific medication for this problem if it did occur.

Update ---I've only had maybe 3 or 4 total pimples --it's not a huge problem.YET ???

Are the pimples you guys talking about different from the many small bumps that appear a few days after surgery?
What are these bumps anyway? I'm on day 5.

Thanks.
