6 months after a hair transplant surgery, my scalp itches

manchinMay 17, 2018

I hit the 6th month mark after a hair transplant surgery and my scalp from time to time itches. However the results so far are really good and I am satisfied with the progress. Do you think that my hair is affected by something? I also contacted the clinic and they told me to drink more water as might the scalp be dry? Please let me know your opinion on this. Many thanks,

If you are considering surgery it would be best to discuss your options with a doctor. You need to explain to your doctor your goals and expectations.  The doctor needs to examine you to give you a better assessment.
