manfue Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hey guys, So I'm about 6 weeks post op. Just had a shower and the water suddenly changed temperature and it was pretty hot on my recipient area. Hot enough to make me jump out quick. It tingled for a while, but now 15 minutes later it's fine and the skin looks normal. Could this cause damage to the grafts and limit growth? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted July 24, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2016 No.. It sounds just and incidental instance, and not a prolonged exposure. I doubt you had anything even resembling a burn which would be cause for some concern, but it all sounds fine. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Regular Member KiranJainn Posted July 24, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2016 Another doubt related to this. Most of us use chlorine mix water for shower. Is it good for scalp, skin or hair ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mahhong Posted July 24, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2016 manfue - You should be fine. After 6 weeks you should be largely healed and brief contact with hot water shouldn't be enough to cause permanent damage. As voxman says, it's only really prolonged contact with hot water enough to cause an actual serious burn that would likely be an issue. KiranJainn - I don't think the chlorine content in your shower should cause any real damage to your scalp, skin or hair, whether it's transplanted or non-transplanted. Hundreds of millions of people are having a shower daily, often multiple times a day, and there doesn't seem to be any real consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
