Is there any specific ointment that can be applied to the donor area after FUE to prevent or minimize the appearance of scars?

Asked By:Curious Dave in Skokie, IL

I underwent an FUE transplant 6 days ago. Everything appears to be healing well and I am taking good care of both the donor and recipient areas, however I want to take preventative measures to ensure that the scarring is minimal. Could Polysporin be an option?
