Excess Sebum After Transplant

Hello! I had a transplant at NHI with Dr. Mcclellan in February 2005 (2000 grafts). After the growth, and then fall out, I am starting to sprout :) What I have developed the past 3-4 weeks is a horribly itchy scalp that feels slightly greasy and is covered with a layer of sebum.

I have tried Nizoral and Head & Shoulders, but am afraid they will make my hair fall out, and dry/damage it. Is this a normal occurence after a transplant? I am itching so badly, that I am starting to shed.

You will have to experiment with different shampoos and conditioners, to find out what works for you. Remember, a hair transplant is a series of organ transplants and each and every one of the follicular units are full organ. It appears from your question that the glands of the new hair are producing excess sebum. Possibly twice daily shampoos during this period might help. You are nearing the 8 month post operative period, so please make an appointment with me so that I can see where you are, and maybe give you a more personalized suggestion.
