How do you guys deal with dryness on scalp post-op? I am 7 days post up, lot of the scabs are off and I notice lot of dryness... should I keep it the way it is, or should I take care of it by applying any moisturization product?

kg007,

Congratulations on your recent hair transplant. So who did you ultimately decide to see? I hope you'll post your experience and photos for us by creating a hair loss weblog.

Regardless of what you use, scalp dryness will go away with healing and time, however, I personally used Aloe Vera and found it to work very well.

To learn about how I restored my hair, view my my hair loss website.

Remember, true beauty radiates from within, not from the skin.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

Aloe seemed to irritate my recipient area and definitely stung when I applied a small amount to donor area as an experiment.
I aggressively applied Aloe and perhaps applied it too early and often.

I swiched to a Vit E spray and Emu Oil. So far so good. Less itching and irritation. I also use Head and Shoulders 2x/week.

I am 19 days post op and am waiting for the redness on the scalp to decrease a bit more before starting Rogaine foam.
