3 weeks post-op.used minoxidil lotion. Allergic reaction.Will it affect the grafts/ final result in anyway? (photo)

adam8286Mar 30, 2016
I have had a fue hairtransplant 3 weeks ago. My doctor advised me to use minoxidil lotion. I have developed an allergic reaction and my head became very itchy, red bump and spots all over and couple of days later this yellowish Liquid started appearing on my scalp. I'm now on antibiotics. My main concern is will that affect the grafts and final result in any way?

Dear chinos316Thanks for the question. Typically, it's best to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours after surgery. Even if you do consume alcohol, be sure to go easy. I wish you all the best.
