When can I put aloe vera on the recipient area after a DHI transplant?

Question

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

Yo can apply aloe vera to your donor area whenever you feel discomfort, however on the transplanted area i don't suggest it.

Sagar Patel, MD · Answer

You can use the pretty early on the donor site to help with soothing the burn and any pain. Generally it is not needed. For the recipient area wait until the crusts have all fallen out (7 days or so)

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hello, great question. You can apply Aloe Vera, or any other cream, after all crusts have gone away. Do not put on if you still have crusting or scabs. Apply carefully without using your fingernails.

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

The grafts are very tenuous for the first several days, so it's best to wait at least a week before massaging any ointments into the recipient area.  Check with your surgeon for his/her personal opinion.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The use of aloe vera can be used anytime after the crust (scabs) have been shed from the recipient area
