Extremely itchy donor area after FUE transplant, what can help ease the itching?

Question

I have since about the 2nd day after my FUE transplant (2900 grafts) extremely itchy donor area. I'm now on day 7 and I'm going crazy. It's especially itchy during the evening (starting at 8 pm till/before sleeping. What I do: I wash my hair 2 times a day very gently like my doctor told me to with a special shampoo they gave me. I took some Ibuprofen and I think it helps a bit I do also have very little "fever" feeling in the evening. My doctor told me to apply "cold packs" but it doesn't help.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
