Can't wash off Lotion used to soften the grafts prior to FUE post-op hair wash (Photo)

March 29, 2018
Asked By:byvillain in Copenhagen, DK

I am 5 days post-op FUE (3600 grafts), and I was told to start my hair wash 4th day with applying the Bepanthol lotion on the recipient area, and then wash it off with Sebamed shampoo. However, both yesterday and today (5th day post-op) I didnt manage completely to get off the lotion from my scalp after washing (please see picture), and it just gets absorbed a bit later. Will this create any problems for my hair growth? If so, should I stop with the lotion until I can touch the grafts? Thank you
