Can corticosteroids compromise the results of a hair transplant?

rayman123
I have been prescribed betnovate cream (betamethasone) to apply to my ear canal (for an issue unrelated to my hair transplant). I also sometimes use avamys (fluticasone) nasal spray to help with decongestion. Could either of these corticosteroids influence my final results? I had my hair transplant on the 6th July. Thanks in advance
