It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  If you're not happy express your concern to your doctor.

If you are having issues with scabbing a week after surgery, you may not be washing your hair well enough.  It would be in your interest to go back to see your doctor for a follow up exam if you're concerned.

You should not be able to detect a good hair transplant surgery.  A bad hair transplant surgery may look like "dolls hair".

If you are having issues after surgery, especially with "psoriasis" you should contact your doctor.  There is no generic oil that you can use.  You need to find out what is going on before thinking about treatment options.
