I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, and have been given a shampoo to use, 90% of my grafts have fallen out in 5 weeks and I have some dry skin in the transplanted area. Will new hair still grow?

Shock loss is always a risk and it is difficult to assess this on the Internet or with photos.  You need a before and after comparison. You need an examination from your surgeon to see if you experienced any shock loss.

If you are having issues after your surgery, the best person to ask is your surgeon who knows the specifics of your surgery. Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery.  The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor ...

If you are concerned about your recipient area, please follow up with your doctor for an exam. You will have hair loss after surgery. You may have graft loss after surgery. Not all the grafts will take. You won't really know until you see results in 6 to 12 months.

I don't recommend touching your surgery area for about a week after surgery. Touching your head afterwards won't cause permanent damage. But also, you should get contact your doctor first and ask for information.

If you are considering SMP, it is best to speak to your surgeon to see when your donor area is healed and safe for the SMP procedure.

It is best to follow your surgeon's post surgery recommendations and instructions since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
