Regular Member wrzasowic Posted June 28, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hi everyone, a week ago I had a hair transplant surgery and I have a question about the dryness of the skin. The treatment seems to be a clean job (first photo - 3 days after surgery). But today, 9 days later, it looks like the second photo. As recommended, I washed my head every other day and from the 5th day I apply the lotion. Even so, the skin is very dry, craced lines appear on day 4, and the scabs seem to form a crust. Is it normal? Since yesterday I have noticed that the dry skin / scabs peals off in some places. Could the reason for this be that the doctor did not advise me to spray my head for the first few days and my skin healed dry? Do I have reasons to be concerned? Thanks in advance for your help. wrzasowic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gokuhairline Posted June 28, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 in general you might develop dry skin, dermatitits , after your surgery - should get better and manegable with nizoral shampoo and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugenix Hair Sciences Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 You can use saline water sprayed every two hours when you are awake to keep your skin hydrated, if you haven't yet had a headwash. If you have had a headwash then you can use aloe vera or protein hair serums to soothe the dry skin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member wrzasowic Posted June 28, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2022 Thanks Will it have a negative effect on the transplant effect? Shouldn't I be afraid? What do you think about the work done by the doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugenix Hair Sciences Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 You still have scabs left on your scalp. That should go away with a couple of washes. Applying protein creams and serums will not have a negative effect on the transplanted hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name of doctor please? Offhandedly I know a few patients who did not need saline spray after going to H&W and Konior. But this was because the work was literally so clean and impeccable that saline spray was literally not needed. But in most normal circumstances, doctors will advise you to use saline spray so the scalp won't be dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
