Can I use Rubbing Alcohol to disinfect Donor area after FUE?

Greetings,The donor area after FUE, whether by hand or ARTAS, takes some time to heal.  Most patients heal atraumatically over a period of weeks.  As your hairs begin to grow, the donor area becomes harder to see.  Daily washes with mild soap can help keep the donor area clean.  If scabs form, mild soap and water can be helpful.  We use PRP in the donor area to facilitate healing as well.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. Most doctors would advise against using rubbing alcohol.

Do not use rubbing alcohol.  This will irritate the tissues and make things worse.  An antibacterial soap should help.  Antibiotic ointments can also be helpful but it is possible to develop allergies to them with continued use.  If the red bumps do not resolve in a few days, go see your surgeon in person.

An antibacterial soap would be the best disinfectant that you can use on your scalp. Immediately before and after surgery, I recommend that my patients use antibacterial soap to wash. After about a few days, I have them switch to regular shampoo and wash daily. Showering will help with the scalp itching. I would not recommend using alcohol on the donor or recipient area. I would follow up with your surgeon and follow their instructions carefully.

Any good shampoo with conditioner will work best for donor and recipient areas. Alcohol and anti-bacterial are more likely to cause additional problems then shampoo with conditioner. If problems come up, let your doctor know what is going on as soon as you're concerned.

It's not necessary to use alcohol and that won't stop the itching anyway.  Keep the area clean with normal daily shampooing and then consider applying a light coat of bacitracin to any open areas.   Keep your doctor in the loop as to what is going on.

After the hair transplant, the use of alcohol will only dry the area and make it itch even more. Follow your doctor's advice
