Hello, I am about 2 months post op. I had some redness , I was told to use some Hydrocortisone cream 1%, twice a day for 6 days and once a day for 6 days. I did this. My question is. Does Hydrocortisone cream 1% affect the new transplanted hairs in any way at all? Does it make the hairs die or fall our or stop growing? My doctors said it would not, and the pharmacist said it would not. But I want to get another opinion a detailed proven opinion.

Answer: Hydrocortisone cream will not affect the transplanted hair as long as you use it as directed.
This is a question maybe every surgeon or expert will answer different but we recommend our patients to start will low exercises after 15 days and with strong activities after 1 month. Please consult with your expert as he may has other advises to you.
