How soon can I use Anti Dandruff shampoo after a FUT/Strip method surgery

asullins123
Hi dear Docs, I had an FUT/Strip method surgery 5 weeks ago. My doc advised me to not use anti-dandruff shampoo for 6 weeks after surgery. But my scalp is dry now, and I've got a tonne of dandruff :( it's nasty and itchy! I cant get hold of my doc who is away and I really need some advice. Surgery was not in North America rather India. From your experience, is it okay if I start to use antidandruff now because I'm very conscious of not itching so much as to create wounds from itching?
