Asked By:L33philip5 in Great Britain, GB

Im 25 days post op FUE. Before my FUE I cleared my scalp psoriasis.Over the last week I have had small plaques come back and itching bad. I emailed the company I had my FUE with and someone in the office said I can resume this medication. Read the leaflet with the betamethasone it said one rare side effect is hair loss an follicular damage.I've read 5 replies here to a similar question. Each reply says yes resume the meds but with different time frames. Is there a clear answer to this question?

This is something I would take up with the Doctor that performed your surgery.  Having redness post surgery 3 weeks after is not a common thing. He should definitely see you if you call and explain this to him/her.
