I did an FUE hair transplant surgery in Turkey and I am out of the Panthenol cream they recommended. What alternatives are there? Is it okay to mix Bepanthen with aloe vera and vitamin E? What other, even if over the counter, products can be used?

Answer: There are many products out there but it would be best to contact your doctor for their specific recommendation.
Most paint/tenderness should have gone away after the first month, maybe the second. To have significant discomfort still after five months is not normal, and you should consult with your doctor.
Numbness shouldn't have an effect on the growth of your hair. It's normal to experience some numbing following the surgery, and can take several months before it starts to go away. If after 6 months it doesn't seem to be improving then I'd talk to your doctor about it. Minoxidil is fine to use...
