Is the Alcohol in Rogaine Foam Bad for Recipient Area?

Dr. Rassman,

On the Hair Loss Help Forum, I read where a poster stated that his surgeon told him that Rogaine Foam was bad for the grafted areas post-surgery due to its high alcohol content? Is it safe to use Rogaine Foam in the grafted areas at 3 months post-surgery? My doctor never warned me about this!

Thanks

Like the old saying goes, “Drunk hair follicles are happy hair follicles!” No, I’m kidding. Actually, Rogaine Foam is not a problem three months after a hair transplant.
