pmjmtd Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I'm worried my coworkers will discover something awry having pinholes all over my head. It'll be 5 days post op that I return to the office. Any Ideas for concealing my altered regions? Creams? tanning solutions? Desparate in Cleveland.

vocor1 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 buy some Dermmatch and/or Toppik. They can work some concealing miracles. I highly recommend them. vocor1 Knowledge is Power -- If the worst question is the one never asked, then the worst answer is the one never shared. -- The truth only matters if you know about it.

Guest Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 i waited 10 days to go back, and I needed every bit of that time to get rid of the scabs and the redness. Or, if your work allows, wear a loose-fitting hat. JCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member garyr Posted January 20, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2004 Vocor 1 5 days post-op use a concealer like Toppik or Dermatch? Aren't there still scabs? I'm asking because I was wondering myself how many days to wait post-op before it was safe/hygienic to apply topical concealers. garyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member trying2moveahead Posted January 21, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted January 21, 2004 I would not want to apply ANYTHING directly to the recipient area this soon. The hat or extra time off seems the only options to me, unless you just say "%#@* it!" and go in with nothing. If you wear a hat, make sure it is clean and does not sit on the recipient area itself....nor put extra stress on the donor region. trying2moveahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocor1 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 garyr: it was 10 days before I tried dermmatch/toppik. I still had a few scabs, but I'd say less than 10%. At day 5, that was a good point to exercise caution. I'd say by day 5 your grafts have thoroughly adhered and your scabs will be dry and mostly holding on. I personally think a light brush on would be okay. I'm no doctor though. Ask him for his opinion on this. vocor1 Knowledge is Power -- If the worst question is the one never asked, then the worst answer is the one never shared. -- The truth only matters if you know about it.
