Kevin, you've made a lot of progress and should be quite pleased.
For all of the items you mentioned, I suggest you not worry about them. I recall the IBP ("Initially Bald Phase" - I just made that up) being quite fascinating and I was consumed by evaluating my newly exposed scalp with microscope precision. Having survived that my recommendation is ... get a new hobby.
Your scalp is experiencing a totally new environment - air, light, regular shaving. It's going to take a little time to adjust. And it will. And it will all turn out just fine.
You, too, are experiencing a totally new look - and it's just going to take you a little time to become totally comfortable. I don't mean that you are uneasy with the change now, but I'm sure you'll still are taken by surprise when you see yourself reflected in a mirror or window. The real "aha" moment will be when you don't even realize that you're living the Sly look. For me that was quite amazing.
Enjoy your success so far. Allow your scalp to adjust. Relax and breathe deeply.
Yeah I suspect you are right Frontier Guy. Maybe I am focusing on it too much. I am continuing to see improvement on my scalp daily. Keeping my scalp shaved nearly every day seems to help it. Actually the day that I skipped, made it harder to shave the next time. From now on I will keep it shaved everyday. It is so much easier!
Sure I would like for the scalp like pimples to go away quicker. But the point is that my scalp is making progress, so I should just be more patient. Maybe by February if things are not progressing like I would like, then I will go see a dermatologist just to see what he/she would recommend to speed things up. Until then I will sit back and enjoy the ride
. Thanks for helping me to keep things in perspective Frontier Guy.
