Regular Member Eurofue Posted August 4, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi I'm on day 3 post op. very little swelling, only really on day 1 after I had some swelling and had subsided yesterday so happy there. Last night and this morning feels like it would be great to scratch my head for some relief from the itching. (Obviously I'm not going to do that) it's tomorrow that I will be starting to clean off doner area from scabbyness. Now is there anything that can be done to relieve me untill then? Or is it more of keeping my mind off it? So you know where I am I've had 3000 grafts FUE to sort my NW 2/3 hairloss. I'm guessing that there isn't much that can be done but thought as I'm being a hermit at the moment time spent posting here is taking up some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sethticles Posted August 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 yeah the itching is a frustrating and will only get worse, get an empty gentle spray bottle and fill it with saline water June 2013 - 3000 FUE Dr Bhatti Oct 2013 - 1000 FUE Dr Bhatti Oct 2015 - 785 FUE Dr Bhatti Dr. Bhatti's Recommendation Profile on the Hair Transplant Network My story and photos can be seen here http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/Sethticles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Eurofue Posted August 4, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 How much salt should I mix in the water? Do you think rock salt will dissolve ok? I'm guessing just a mild very light mist on the area and not to saturate it? Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted August 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2015 Bottles of sterile saline can be purchased at your local pharmacy or even a large retailer very cheaply. I would not recommend that you mix any salt with it, you don't need that and will even dry your scalp further. The itchy sensation is due in part to the healing process and actually a good sign. Using a shampoo and cr?me rinse enriched with aloe vera will greatly help keep you scalp moist and reduce the itching sensation.
