http://www.folligen.com I use the Folligen Shampoo and Conditioner when I am not using Nizoral. (It's what my Dr. sends you home with after your HT!) You use very little so the bottle should last a long time.

I am sure there are lots of different methods for different people... but I was told use Nizoral 3X per week and leave it on at least 5 minutes to penetrate the scalp properly. (Again, everyone is different and may use it differently or have success by other means.) Hope this helps!

I agree. Doctor always knows best!

Have you thought about maybe putting the spray in the refrigerator so it's cold when you spray it,... might be a more cooling sensation and help with the itching. (I just went thru the same thing last week - 2 Benadryl helped but made me super sleepy!)

Thanks everyone, I am much better now. To answer the questions/comments about the saran wrap - it is standard procedure with Dr. Cooley. His instructions post-op involve using a special spray on the grafted area and the saran wrap acts as a "greenhouse effect".

I am 3-days post-op and the grafted area is itching like crazy!!!:confused: Any advice on what I can do (I took some Benadryl and that seems to help some). I am spraying constantly to keep the area moist, and keeping it covered with Saran wrap. Thanks!

I am going in for my second HT on 12/22 (first was not a success...not looking to explain all the details on this post). Just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom &/or advice about having a 2nd HT. I'm pretty anxious and emotional about the whole thing. One would think knowing what to expect would help...but it really doesn't. THANKS!!!:)

AMAZING! But I am not surprised!

I just wanted to say I am sorry you are going through this...hair loss is hard enough and now you are having to deal with a not so good HT. Hoping things get better for you every day, hang in there!

Hope you are doing well Azn Guy. I am sure Dr. Cooley and Brandi treated you well! Take care of yourself

A-mazing! Nice work, she must be very pleased.. I know I would be!

Hi everyone, Just saw 15% Minoxidil on a website, but did not see it in the line-up of items to purchase through this site. I am assuming that if it was worth taking I would hear people on this board talking about it and that my Dr. would have told me about it. Any thoughts? Anyone used it with success??:confused:

AZNGUY, As a patient of Dr. Cooley's also, I would like to know if he used the Trichophytic Closure on you?. I am fairly certain that I read in one of your older posts that he did not due to something about your skin or it's condition. Is that possibly the reason you did not get the scar results you expected?
