Had FUE post 10 days caught the flu and now dry skin? (Photo)

Question

I'm not sure what this could be? Is it fungus maybe dry skin infection?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

If you are having issues after surgery, especially with an infection you should contact your doctor.  Faster you see your doctor, faster you can have your issue treated.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

It is difficult to make a diagnosis based on your photo but more than likely it is just dry skin and the end of crusting/scabbing.It looks fine but I would follow up with your surgeon.

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

In the first 2 weeks: dryness, itchiness and having a crust on the scalp is a known process. There is nothing to worry about. This is the healing phase and and part of the natural process.

Dry skin is treated with a good lotion with a lanolin base. By applying it a few times a day, the dryness will be addressed

Sean Behnam, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Dry skin is normal to have at this point, regardless of getting the flu. As long as it starts to go away over the next week or two and isn't accompanied by other symptoms like burning, redness, swelling, etc. then I wouldn't be concerned. Always check with your doctor though, since they know the specifics of your case.
