Regular Member kk23 Posted April 27, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hi, I was wondering what products I can safely use at 28 days post OP to treat my flaky and really dry scalp. The picture doesn't really show how dry and flaky it is. What have you guys used to have helped? Thank you all for any advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted April 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2022 Flakes are typically a result of dryness. Avoid shampoos that contain alcohol as this dries the scalp. Baby shampoo would work. Try that out and see how it goes. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.

Senior Member NARMAK Posted April 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2022 The grafts are firmly secure by that day post op so as mentioned, baby shampoo is probably the gentlest thing you can use. I suffer with dandruff myself that i keep at bay with T-Gel and marginally via Nizoral, but i'm also looking to be able to manage any side affects like dry scalp etc. Let us know how you get on.

It is normal to have flakiness. However, also do use a mild shampoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 28, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 28, 2022 I also suffered from a dry and flaky scalp after my surgery three months ago. I actually found that by leaving it alone was the best thing for me. Shampoo (whatever type) just seemed to dry my scalp out even more. The best thing I did find though was massaging in avocado and rose hip oil into my scalp and donor. I did this (and still do occasionally) about three times a week and it moisturized my scalp to the point where I could use shampoo such as Nizoril, etc. Wishing you all the best!
