It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.Neosporin does not accelerate the healing process.  It is an antibiotic ointment to prevent possible infection.

Propecia or finasteride does not affect your transplanted hairs.  It may have sexual side effects for 1 to 2% of the men.
