Hi, its been 14 days after the operation and i still have alot of dead skin and crust, looking like cracks. In the last week i've been putting lotion in the recipient area and then washing it with a medical shampoo as ordered by the clinic. I can see now that the implanted her is covered by huge surfage of crust.. Could it be because i have used too much lotion? How can i take it off, are the follicles will be damaged? Thanks in advance.

Answer: It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.
It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor. Some may not see any results at 6 months.
It is best to contact your doctor about post issues. Some patients may experience numbness on their scalp for a few months. If a major nerve was cut during the procedure the numbness can be permanent.

You should have begun to see results by 6 months. THe full results of the hair transplant would be seen by 1 year so hopefully your hair grows by then.
