SteveRogers2 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hi everyone, I got my HT at the end of June, scabbing was removed 10 days post op, looked awesome. Super happy thus far (at the four month mark, when it comes around, I will recap my entire experience and continue the thread up until at least the 1 year mark, with monthly progress). Anyway, basically since the 3rd week (5th/6th week now), I’ve had extremely itchy skin in the recipient area, which I tried not to itch, but accidentally caught myself a few times (I have pretty bad ADHD, so as soon as I turn off my senses to stop myself from doing something, I will immediately go back to it), doing very slight itching, luckily it maybe caused 10-20 little follicles to come out, my doc said they should survive, but we won’t know until the 4-6 month mark. The itchiness has subsided, and a good amount of the dry skin (you wouldn’t believe how flaky and itchy the skin was, idk if it’s because I’m young, or due to the high density etc, I haven’t seen anything like it on this forum - I used to have the account “SteveRogers” but for some reason whenever I log in, my screen goes blank and I can’t access the site, no matter what browser, app, phone I use.) So most of the dry skin is gone but I just accidentally, while rubbing some coconut oil on my forehead (I use it as a nightly moisturiser) I scraped a little piece off, I just took a photo and wanted an opinion on what you guys think - does it look like I’ve completely dislodged the new follicle while accidentally flicking the dry skin? Thanks so much, also thanks to all contributors from other threads, I’m so glad I did this and so happy with the work of my doc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted August 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 7, 2023 @SteveRogers2 I don't think grafts can be dislodged like that..they are just hairs and not grafts(roots) 2 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveRogers2 Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 @A_4_Archan @Big Rome Thanks for the replies! I thought so, however, it’s almost like I’ve accidentally plucked/pulled them out, would this make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if there was no bleeding, you’re fine 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted August 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2023 That's dry skin mate. Are you not cleaning your scalp with good dandruff shampoo? Try Nizoral twice a week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Nizoral twice a week I’m not currently, I read that I should wait until the 2 month mark before doing so. It’s just so odd as I haven’t seen anyone else with this problem. But yeah, I think I’m just gonna use my Nizoral again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
