Hello, I just had a hair transplant 1 day ago. I would like to use something to keep the grafts moist and disinfect so i purchased a bottle of Bactine(benzalkonium chloride and lidocaine ). I have sprayed it on the area 5 or 6 times and now i am worried that maybe something with a disinfectant would be bad for the grafts so i have stopped.

Certainly you need to follow your hair restoration professionals instructions. In my opinion you need to wait an hour after the minoxidil so that the minoxidil is absorbed. Then use the massage oil.
