It is okay to use baby oil after 4 months of hair transplant but I am concerned that it may cause more problems than offer any significant benefit.

I suggest that you take care of your hair like you were doing before the surgery, use mild shampoos to get rid of flakes and odors that might inhibit proper hair growth.

It is safe to apply baby oil to your scalp four months after your hair transplant. I would only caution that the scalp has abundant sebaceous oil glands already and does not usually need extra oil except in rare cases of eczema and psoriasis. In fact, dandruff/flaky scalp is believed by dermatologists to be partly caused by inflammation resulting from excess oil and yeast overgrowth. Lack of adequate cleansing or washing with shampoo can result in excess scalp oil and consequent dandruff. It is best to control scalp flaking with a dandruff shampoo which will control the excess oil and yeast.

Baby oil should not be used on the scalp, it is a mineral oil from petroleum distalates. It should never be used. Patients ask me about dandruff regularly. The most common cause of dandruff is the use of shampoos that cause damage to the scalp allowing an opportunist fungal infection resulting in flaking :dandruff". The most common lathering agent in shampoos is sodium lauryl sulfate. Look at the label of your shampoo. Avoid shampoos that contain sodium lauryl sulfate, a long chain alcohol that damages the scalp. Use a sulfate free shampoo and over the course of a number of months your scalp will heal and be better able to resist a secondary fungal infection. Using a 2% salicylic acid solution available over the counter will help to mitigate dandruff flaking as your scalp heals. Problems that persist may be psoriasis or other scalp conditions that may need the help of your primary care provider or dermatologist.
