I have removed three lipomas on my scalp. When can I wash my head?

Many thanks for your question. In general it is fine to get scalp incisions wet following surgery but it is best to avoid soaps/shampoos as these can irritate the scar and affect healing. Wait for the wounds to heal which is in general at two to three weeks before then proceeding with gentle hair washing with shampoo.
All the best,

Keep the area clean and well washed. I would use Plato's Scar Serum on the scars to help with healing.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Thank you for sharing your question.  I would recommend addressing this with your surgeon as they know the full details of your procedure.  In general as long as you do not rub or scrub your incision sites it should be fine to shower the day following surgery.  Hope this helps.
