Scalp emits a foul smell after FUE. Why?

ClairayJun 27, 2018
Hi, I am on day 4 after fue procedure and my scalp has this foul smell that I noticed since day 1. Is it the smell of dried blood or something? I did do hair wash by the nurse on day 2 and day 3. The smell is still present now so I don't get why. It smells really similar to athlete's foot.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  There should be no issues of getting a tattoo on your arm.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  There is no reason why you cannot brush your hair.  What have you been doing for the last 4 months?
