Regular Member Mortimer Posted February 26, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2004 Today was exactly the 2nd month postop...Here is my case: -The receipient area still hurts a bit when you touch it with a comb. When will this pain go away? I mean, it isn't like a headache, but you can feel some pain when you touch it. -The receipient area also itches sometime. Is this normal? and a question: my hair is very dry, like a desert bush...It is so dry that I can't even shape after a shower...So, I started to use a material, given to me by my hairdresser. It is a fiber gum, named Osis...You just apply small bit and it makes your hair like a more volume. I also use soft gel sometimes. Is it ok to use such things in this period? If not, what do you recommend? I don't like hard gels, but I need something to shape my hair and make it look more lively. Oh, by the way, I use Propecia and Rogain at the same time.

Regular Member kazgorat Posted March 3, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted March 3, 2004 It took me until about the 4 month mark before things finally started getting back to normal. It should get a little better each week. As far as the fiber gum, usually at 2 months post op you can pretty much use any products that you could before your HT, but if you're not sure you should consult with your doctor.

Senior Member hairworthy Posted March 4, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2004 Well I have a slightly different experience. My receipient area was only sore for a few days after the HT, then there was no pain at all. Itching, yes, from time to time I feel like scratching myself from the inside, if you see what I mean, but it doesn't last long. Re: the texture/dryness of my hair, I've had no change since the HT. 3045 FUs with Dr Victor Hasson on 8 June 2004 1836 FUs with Dr Jeffrey Epstein on 2 March 2006 Regimen: 1.25mg Proscar every other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
