Hi Guys,
I had a hair transplant 3,5 months ago (FUE, 1100 grafts). There was an early and substantial growth, now new hair cover most of the transplant area. Two patches took longer to heal and I still wait for yield there. Generally, everything was fine until a couple of days ago.
A couple of days ago, after a usual shower I noticed white stuff between my transplanted hair (NOT anywhere else, only where the new hair started to grow). At first I thought its shampoo or conditioner residue, but it turned out to be some small wet bits of skin peeling off.
It stopped for a day or two, but now I get it virtually after every shower (hot, cold, or normal, with shampoo or without).
The worst thing is that when I delicately run through my HT hair after the shower or later, some of the hair fall off with this dandruff/tiny dead skin attached. This shedding doesn’t happen each time, but still it does happen. As you can imagine I am freaking out and have no idea what to do.
My surgeon claims to be a top class specialist with 20 years of HT expertise in Germany. So is it my fault? I had a perfect diet, zero sun exposure, went through the internet and all information I can find is something about bacterial infections (but peeling is only limited to the growth area, I guess bacteria would spread).
I cant call my surgeon now as he is on holidays for 2 weeks or so. Even if HT hair falls out now, will it grow back later on? What can i do to stop skin peeling? This forum is an ideal place for solving all kinds of HT mysteries. What’s your opinion, suggestions? Appreciate all comments!
