Hello doctor/s Question 1 This is the second week after the (FUE) hair transplant, and the donor area still red and dehydrated, ist possible to use any moisturizer or cream?? Question 2 Am still washing my transplanted area as prescribed for me, and now its almost 2 weeks after the procedure, is it ok to start rubbing my transplanted area? Question 3 Can I get back to sleep as I use to? Because since the procedure am still sleeping with head elevated 45 degrees? Thank you
