Please Help, minoxidil and HT question


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering whether minox irritation could be something that would affect the growth of grafts? My skin looks pretty bad up there, almost like it's been burnt and it has alot of residue left over. I plan to stop minox 1 month prior to surgery.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Cheers fellas.

Hey UM4L,

 

Good question..........I wish I knew for sure one way or the other. I think for something as important as this I'd put in a call to your HT surgeon to get some advice. I believe some skin irritations are bad enough to cause hair loss, so, it seems there could be a possibility that it could inhibit graft growth after HT.
