Generally, after 2 weeks post-op, you can can return to your normal hair wash routine. However, it is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

For your flaky skin you can try Ketoral shampoo. 3 months after the operation you can do any activity and sports you want.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Yes, you can play football, both American and European versions.  Flaky scalp may be a dermatitis.  Did you try a dandruff shampoo? Good luck!

At 3 months you can do anything you want including playing football and hitting the ball with your head if needed for the game
