Finally able to shower normally. Having to use the cup method was truely a PITA. My scalp has started to form crusts and scab over and I am feeling tissue building up in the donor area. Hopefully the itching subsides soon. Still using the copper peptide shampoo, and have noticed that small amounts of crusts are starting to come off. Called the Doctor about using minoxidil today, they said the foam was preferred and that I could start using it immidiately on my hair if I wanted to. I ordered a 6 month supply of the generic kirkland minoxidil 5% foam, so we will see how that works.
