Asked By:HairTguy in Ontario, ON

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.
