5 Months After Procedure, Dry Skin in Transplanted Area

Hello Doc,
First of all thanks for starting this section, it really helps many people who have queries about hair transplant. I have got a quick question as well. I have had hair transplant on 31 january 2006 (it’s been 5 months 15 days). The problem I have got is, I have got too much dandruff in the transplanted area only plus, skin on the transplanted area is also peeling, I can scratch the skin by my nails, I have used different shampoos and conditioners, but, it’s not working and peeling of skin is too much, I am worried, it would not affect the transplanted hair, whih are growing slowly.
Many thanks

A minority of patients complain of dry skin on the tranplanted area. The dry skin should not affect the tranplanted hair, though. A moisturizing cream or hair conditioner should take care of the problem. Periodically give yourself a good lanolin application (standard hand cream) and then wash it off with a conditioner for dry skin.
