It is best to wait about a week or until the scabs have healed and the grafts are securely in place before applying a topical to the scalp. It can be difficult to wash the Toppik out so it is best to wait until the grafts are in place so there is no chance of rubbing them out when washing off the Toppik. However its always best to discuss with your hair transplant surgeon.
You can use concealers a few days after surgery. However you should check with your doctor before doing this.
The earliest you should use those products is two weeks after your surgery, when it is certain that your scabs/crusts have all fallen off. Once that happens you can use pretty much any sort of styling product that you'd like.
I recommend patients wait until 3-5 days to begin to use Caboki or Toppik on the scabs, remembering to be gentle with hair washing is effect. Ideally you should wait until all the scabs are off so you can clean your scalp well when washing without fear of disturbing the grafts.

Use of concealers after a hair transplant is ok one week after all of the crusts have been washed off.
Your hair should be shedding. The way that hair cycles after a transplant, old hair within the graft needs to shed in order for the new one to grow in. You should expect to see growth on the 6-12 month time frame. Good luck!

I would recommend scheduling an in person follow up with the surgeon who did your transplant. From the photos it is hard to tell what you have going on other than some redness and irritation which you should not have at this point, you need to see the doctor to make sure you don't have...
