I am a family medicine doctor, I did a hair transplant 6 weeks ago with 5100 hair follicles until now I still have redness in the donor area. My doctor doesn't recommend any treatment and recommends to wait for 3 months after the hair transplant for re-evaluation. I am in a hurry because I am a doctor and I think a weak hydrocortisone lotion will solve the problem in a week but I need another opinion to support my doctor's opinion or my opinion according to a hair transplant specialist experience.

Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation. It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
After 2 weeks, you can go back to work and do not have to wear a bandana. You can generally wear whatever you wish. If you are concerned, it is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
