Seborrheic dermatitis 2 months post FUE. Will this affect my regrowth? (Photo)

Question

I believe I have developed mild Seborrheic Dermatitis post FUE ht 2months in. I am seeing the dryness/flakes develop during the day and after washing my hair at night with shampoo/conditioner I am gaining this odd strange look. Will this affect my regrowth and what can be done to get rid of Seborrheic Dermatitis?

If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. It may be best to also speak to a dermatologist so you can get proper treatment.

Hello, thank you for the question. I suggest you try using coconut oil on your scalp, leave on for about 10-15 minutes then rinse off. That hopefully will make the dryness goes away and its natural. If that doesn’t stop it try using Head & Shoulders shampoo. If neither of those work I think you should make an appointment with a doctor. Good luck to you.

This should be managed with Selsun, Head and Shoulders, T-Gel or even a ketaconazole shampoo. See your surgeon and have them do a close analysis using trichoscopy.

Seborrheic Dermatitis is not a usual diagnosis after an FUE. Think about better care with the use of a good conditioner after shampooing and see if that make a difference.  IF not, try Head and Shoulders shampoo
