16 days post hair transplant with some mild folliculitis, would topical betadine and triclosan wash affect the grafts?

May 26, 2016
Asked By:surgeriesandetc in Australia, AU

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?
