If you have dandruff, consider using an anti-dandruff shampoo. Otherwise see your doctor for an exam and treatment options.
I agree with John Peter Cole, MD Using a comb and soaking the scalp is very useful along with the use of Nizoral.
Dandruff usually appears after a hair transplant, this is normal. You just need to make sure that both the recipient and the donor areas are as clean as possible during the postoperative period so that regrowth can be optimal. So this is very important to scrub the dandruff during the shampoo. Pay attention to use your fingertips, not your nails. You can also apply sweet almond oil in order to soften the dandruff.
I agree that you most likely need to give your scalp a good scrub. i'd use a fine tooth comb to lift the dead skin layer off the top of your head after a good soak in water.

This can be a washing problem. This is best treated with a good shampoo made for dry scalp and a conditioner to follow to moisten the skin. Heard and Shoulders works well as a shampoo for dandruff
If your doctor said you should wait 3 to 4 weeks after hair transplant, it would be best to follow that advice.

This should not be a problem, but you need to check with your doctor first. Some medications do cause hair loss and there are reports that concerta rarely does this. The risk seems to be about 1%
At 7 months you are still on the early side of your full results. By 6 months one should expect only about 1- 1/2 inches of new hair growth and it will be finer in nature than your full results. I know it is difficult being patient but that is what it takes at this point. There is nothing yo...
..dan,Thanks for the question. The early growth is nice, but should be accelerating in the next month or two. Most patients develop scalp irritation and itching with minoxidil use, I like to have a compounded formulation of minoxidil, retinoid acid and hydrocortisone. This increases the...
