Can I apply oil to the donor area? I'm 7 days post FUE surgery (Photo)

I'm 7 days post FUE surgery and my donor area is quite dry and flakey. I wonder if the donor area is infected? However I was instructed by the surgeon to not use an oil on the donor or recipient area until 2 months after surgery. I just want to understand the reasoning behind that suggestion. Seems like a lot of people are using things like vitamin e oil, castor oil, Neosporin, argan oil and etc. I would like to apply some of those, but I want to follow the surgeons instructions.
