ShayDo Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Hey, I'm day 13 into my recovery, i think i've put too much lotion and now it has made a thick yellow-ish layer on my head. Or is it crust/scab? The clinic said it was ok.. but I'm wondering maybe i should do something about it? Is it really ok? I have not seen anyone with this condition, so i'm worried. Thanks!

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 20, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 20, 2021 Have you washed your recipient at all?? That doesn’t look good. You need to do a better job of cleaning.

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2021 Definitely see the above video. The yellow layer needs to go. What post op instructions have you been following? Need to remove the layer/crust carefully. And then keep it dry and clean going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayDo Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I've been putting lotion on my head for 1 hour. After 1 hour i've put shampoo on my head, than rinsed it off with lukewarm water and a cup EVERY DAY. I told my clinic that a lot of lotion is still present after rinsing, they told me it was fine. I've send them these pictures and they said it is normal. Should i really remove this layer? Won't the grafts fall with the layer? Have i done permanent damage to my hair? could it be that the graft did not survive because of it? Thanks Edited July 20, 2021 by ShayDo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2021 Can I ask who the clinic was ? Your grafts will be fine and they were very secure by day 10. I can see normal scabbing occurring it’s the lotion that needs to be properly removed. The Post op video that Melvin posted above shows decent after care ! 🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire yellow thing is one big scab/dried lotion, i don't really know what to do about it - should i remove it as one piece? there is no visible wet lotion on me, only this yellow blob of doom. should i do the rubbing he show on 4:58 in the video? Thank you!!Dr. Serkan Aygın ClinicDr. Serkan Aygın ClinicDr. Serkan Aygın Clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayDo Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I got it off, and my hair seem to be in place 😅 I hope the entire wrong process did not make me lose some grafts along the way. Thank you very much for encouraging me to take that step! Edited July 20, 2021 by ShayDo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the grafts have become very secure after day 7-10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the reason he told me I could use caps after that Edited July 21, 2021 by Ajamilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week or so is the general point most clinics agree they are fully secure. Edited July 21, 2021 by JohnAC71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
