Scalp is drying out and leaving a white haze around hair and scalp?

db3178Sep 10, 2016
I am 15 days after Neograft hair transplant and just saw doctor and he said everything looks fine, but my scalp is now drying out in a big way and leaving a white haze around my scalp and hair area and it looks terrible. Is there anything I can use or spray even that would not effect new grafts?? I have a bottle I use to spray for itching but just wondering what I can do with the dryness and how it looks?

Thank you for your question. You submitted a single photo showing a part of your scalp, stating you had a hair transplant about 75 days prior, but hair has fallen out. You’ve spoken to your doctor who said this is normal. You are looking for confirmation about this, and also  ask if it is ok...

You can definitely take your protein now, although, I would always suggest checking in with your doctor.

I would always tell such patients to go back to their doctor and get an examination to make sure that there is no infection or cut nerves causing your symptoms

It is generally very difficult to cover the crown area with one sitting of hair transplant. thus, multiple sittings, if required, is the only option. Or you can go in for SMP again to give you a better coverage.

I personally dont perform this treatment but you can consult with a dermatologist and inquire.
