Can I apply fusidic acid cream on the scalp where newly hair grafts are placed?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You should ask your doctor this question as each doctor has different post operative care instructions.  Some doctors a very specific.  The another issue is WHY?  Why would you want to do this and where did you get the idea?

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Check with your surgeon for his or her protocol for post op care. Fusidic acid is not usually needed for the grafts - unless there is an infection. Some surgeons recommend these antibiotic creams for the donor area - but many surgeons do not. All is all, check with your surgeon

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

First I don't know why you would use this as this fusidic is an irritant and could damage your scalp skin. Check with your doctor first before you do this.

I would not recommend using any product that was not recommended by your doctor for the post op care routine.
