[Timd922]

Hey guys! Little over 3 weeks post op, constant flaking and dandruff the last 4-5 days in recipient area.. anyone know how to control this? Not sure if this is just the pre shed or what, thanks!

What Shampoo are you currently using ? 

[Timd922]

Sebamed, the shampoo the clinic gave to use. Still have about 1/4 of it left.

You could switch out to your usual shampoo and see if that helps.

[Timd922]

Okay ya I’ll try that thank you. Not a huge issue, just something I noticed recently and wasn’t sure usually when they suggest you can use other shampoos post op.

Three weeks out...you should be fine using your own shampoo.  You will also notice pimples popping up occasionally.  This is expected and try not to "mess" with them.  Just let them take care of themselves unless you get a difficult one that occasionally could get infected.

I experienced this too, and it definitely subsided with time. I imagine it had to do with increased dryness of the scalp post-surgery, but it eventually resolved itself.

If you ever have future outbreaks, Nizoral really comes in handy btw. Hopefully you won't have to deal with it anymore though.

i had this issue as well and started using nizoral 3x week and my normal shampoo and conditioner and the other days and it seems to have helped and lessened the dandruff/itch.
