Senior Member Janna Posted July 30, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2013 You don't have cobblestoning. What you're experiencing is folliculitis, which is why your surgeon prescribed antibiotics. Keep your surgeon abreast of your condition till it's completely cleared up.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I agree with Janna. You would need to wait much longer than 3 weeks post op to determine if a patient has cobblestoning.

Regular Member lana Posted July 31, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thank You Dr. Glen..I just do hope it turns out to be follicullitis rather than cobble stoning. Ihave attached another picture just in case the other pics were not clear enough. Please can you share your views. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member greatjob Posted July 31, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thank You Dr. Glen..I just do hope it turns out to be follicullitis rather than cobble stoning. Ihave attached another picture just in case the other pics were not clear enough. Please can you share your views. Thank you Yeah like Dr. Charles and Janna noted, there is no way to determine if you will suffer from cobble stoning this early. Your head is still healing and is going to be bumpy for sometime, add the fact that you my have some follicullitis and there will be much more bumps forming. Try to relax and follow your doctors instructions, you won't be able to tell if cobble stoning is a problem until after probably 3-5 months post op.
