Post FUE surgery, scalp is really itching and oily.

Question

Post FUE surgery, my scalp itches and gets very oily, not sure if this is normal or not. Its been 3 months since surgery now. I wash my hair every other day with pura d'or shampoo and sometimes I wash it with a bar soap to get the oil out. I did my surgery overseas. I've never had an oily scalp before. I did what I was told by my doctor, used baby shampoo for the first month in a cup, never got aggressive with my scalp.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  There are creams or ointments your surgeon may (or may not) recommend.

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

You can be more aggressive now. Try using anti-dandruff products or go back to your normal shampooing regimen.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

You should speak with your doctor about medications to use that will stop the itch. I generally recommend using a good conditioner after washing
