I (22M) had a hair transplant 10 months ago with 3360 grafts on my frontal area. The progress was slow for the first few months with alot of itching and folliculitis. Now 10 months later the result is no where near what I expected. The transplanted hair falls regularly and the hair density is very less. I have been taking finasteride and monoxide 5% spray once at night. I have also been taking multivitamin and biotic tablets. What can I do to accelerate hair growth and get hair density right?
2.5 months post-op from my first HT. Getting a lot of pimples in the recipient area. I've been to a walk-in doctor as well as my family doctor. Both diagnosed me with folliculitis. Family doctor prescribed me keflex. Been in regular contact with the clinic that performed the HT. However, I'm told by the clinic to simply pop pimples that form whiteheads and scrub the recipient areas vigourously. Are antibiotics needed? Which advice should I follow? How can I tell the severity of the folliculitis?
Can I have a hair transplant? I have recurrent folliculitis and red area around folliculitis (there are couple active and inactive bumps )on donor area (back of head) ? If I can do that , may it be occurred on receipt area or worst than before on donor area?
Is this normal?, I talked to my Dr, he said some ppl has these reactions that this is normal, I had 2 transplants B4 and never happened like this, this is painful full of pus and very depressing, I know some zits are fine but you'll see Pictures what should I do, just wait or see another certified doctor in transplants , I started the treatment 16 days ago, and my head looks every day worse I'm scared, I already went to a dermatologist and they took a sample of the pus, I'm waiting for results
Can you please doctors share your opinions on the results I'm getting so far? I have scheduled an appointment with my surgeon next week because it looks like I might have folliculitis. When I take a picture using the camera light, it looks hairy (though thin and light). But at daylight, my crown looks bald. Please let me know your thoughts.
I had FUT about six weeks ago, and my external stitches were cut but the surgeon also used dissolvable stitches. I was told all of the stitches would come out within 3-4 weeks. I think they're all out. The issue is, when I touch my scar, I feel like there is a bump across it, like the scar is protruding, through the entire scar. Is this normal? I travelled to see my doctor so I've talked to him via email, he feels it could be folliculitis/pimples and I should add antibiotics.
Hi, while I've also messaged my doctor for an answer, I have some folliculitis at 16 days post op and was instructed to use a hibiscrub shampoo which was broken in my luggage on the return home. I've bought topical betadine and a Phisohex 1% triclosan wash and would just like to know if they could negatively affect my grafts at this point?
I has been 15days since my ht of 4000 grafts. My donor area started showing some red pimples all over the donor area. My doctor suggested that it is follicalitis and put me on cefadrox and citrigen for 4 days. Is it fine to use these tabs for 4 days or do I have to use them for more days. Any suggestions.
