Worried wearing a cap to work everyday for 8 hours and sweating under it will affect the results?

Question

I had my FUT, and I am 2 and a half months post op, I didn't wear any cap for the first two weeks after the procedure, then I got back to work and I am wearing a cap for nearly 8 hours a day, does this have any negative impact? I have chosen to wear a cap since there is very little growth in the recipient area and the hair in rest of my head has grown I want to hide this contrast till I start seeing results? Does sweating under the cap bad? I do wash my head everyday

With this amount of time that has elapsed since your hair transplant, there is no issue with wearing a cap as you described.  Contrary to popular belief, wearing a hat does not cause baldness and in your case, the cap will not affect your hair transplant.

There is no problem wearing a hat after hair transplant. I actually give my patient a hat that is loose fitting to use after the transplant
