Post Op Scalp treatment- dryness, etc.

[zakb1983]

Hi there- I had a megasession done with Dr. Wong 7 days ago- 5,500 grafts. My head feels like a dry, stretched out basketball- the recipient area...

 

I've been taking aloe pills, which I can't imagine are doing much. Does anyone have any thoughts on either how long this takes to begin to feel normal, or if there is any type of treatment (oils, etc.) that I could possibly begin to do fairly soon?

 

Also have an email out to Dr. Wong, but figured I'd post to get other opinions. Thanks

You can get some immediate relief from applying an enriched aloe vera cream and also use a rich aloe vera shampoo concurrently with it.

 

I think you will find it cooling to the scalp along with help in reducing the sensation of inflammation and improve scalp post-op redness as well.

 

Congrats on your recent procedure...
