Senior Member stevo Posted January 31, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 31, 2008 OKHJOON I am at exactly the same point as you. The best thing to do is to keep rinsing the grafts with water and a bit of shampoo as you cannot massage the grafts yet. Im able to shampoo my hair/grafts properly tomorrow as it's day 4 2600 grafts Dr Feller 28/01/08 3024 grafts Dr Feller 15/01/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 1, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2008 Srry, just re-read your post and didn't catch that you are just 3 *days* post op -- read it as 3 weeks -- so, of course, disregard using aloe verga like stevo correctly said. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 OKHJOON190, As mentioned by some of our forum members, I wouldn't use Aloe Vera until at least 9 or 10 days. Some have suggested spraying your scalp with saline solution which might help with the itch. I personally did not find this helpful. I imagine that you could probably take some Benadryl (spelling) or something like that to help with the itch. At such an early stage, just do what you can to resist touching it. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WeAreCured Posted February 1, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2008 Since no one mentioned this I thought I'd add that pain killers make your head and face itch. If you're still eating your painkillers, then that could be making the itching worse. My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
