It is best to contact your doctor for any post operative care and instructions.  In general water will wash away excess lotion.  Just go back to your doctor for a follow up if you are concerned.

Hello Kammy,At 1 week after surgery, you should be able to wash your hair and remove scabs and lotions by the aid of a soft brush. t helps to keep your hair moisturized in between washes to help loosen the scabs/lotion. You do not have to get it all off in one wash. Leave the rest for the next several hair washes.

Never rub your head after a hair transplant when washing for fear or dislodging grafts. Just wash more often and it will eventually come off
