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

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 may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned with the density and shape, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.

Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation.

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.
