Is Coal Tar 1% shampoo safe to use after a hair transplant?

SP
santosh kumar patilOct 28, 2018

50 days post hair transplant: for the last 3 years I have been suffering from the seborrheic dermatitis due to that at the donor area and some transplanted area whitish crusting and when I removed it, it came again and again. I've used Fluconazole, Itraconazole and many antifungal and antidandruff shampoos for the same but it continues on a particular area over the scalp. My doctor has given me a coal tar 1%shampoo, is it safe to use after a transplant?

It is best to wait 6-8 months before determining if your hair transplant was dense enough. If it is not dense enough, you can opt for a second procedure to increase the density.
