Shampoo to fight inflammation, fungal and ingrown hairs. 3 weeks post FUE.

CiloDec 18, 2017
I am 20 post op fue. I notice I have a few ingrown hairs in my recipient area. Just wondering if there is a shampoo to help with inflammation, fungal, bacteria, dandruff, ingrown hairs and flaky scalp? Was looking at shampoos like Nizoral and pure tea tree oil shampoo. Or maybe there's another shampoo better than those two that I just mentioned. Is there any specific shampoos you would recommend to combat those things I listed above?

It is never wise to drink alcohol and smoke weed to get high in general so it would apply if you had a hair transplant as well.There aren't any medical studies to show what impact drugs and alcohol would have on hair transplant results.

In general if you lost your graft after surgery you may notice bleeding. If you are concerned it is best to go back to your doctor for a recheck.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  Riding a bicycle should not be an issue after a hair transplant surgery (unless you fall and injure your head).

It looks like you are there about to get a transplant with marks like that!  Best of luck.  If it turns out not to be enough hair when it grows in, you should seek another consult with either the same surgeon or another surgeon.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  There is no need to use coconut oil after surgery.
