I would have to see you and look at your skin to understand the problem. Flaky skin (dandruff) can be something brought on by a scalp surgery. Zinc and tar based shampoos will work to control this. You can buy this in any neighborhood drugstore.

At 7 months, you should see growth from the transplants. It sounds like it’s possible that your transplants grew in right away (seen in 5% of patients), but you may have experienced shock loss in the surrounding hair, leaving you no better off than before you started. As for redness, it should’ve subsided months ago. […]
Scar formation and wound healing is not that simple. Aside from the technical aspect, everyone heals differently and scars differently. Leaving staples in for about 10 to 14 days is what we generally do. We leave the staples in for up to 21 days in some patients. Sometimes leaving staples in longer will cause the […]
I am sorry, but you will likely not see regrowth on your front hairline (or front corners) if you are Norwood Class 3. It’s very rare for those areas to improve from medication. If regrowth happens it is mostly on the top crown areas where there is miniaturization. The best outcome for you on Propecia […]
UV light is not good for fresh wound healing and is known to slow it down. This would be most sensitive in the first few months, which is when I would suggest using a good sunscreen with an SPF factor of 45 or more. Generally, it is easier to wear a baseball cap.
Very active sex is safe within a couple of days after a hair transplant (FUE or strip). I tell this to people as a routine, but passive sex is ok the night of the surgery. Why are you waiting?
Miniaturized hairs will grow slower than normal hair. If you are not taking Propecia (finasteride 1mg) and had a hair transplant, the degree of miniaturization may increase and slow down the growth of the natural remaining hairs that are genetically impacted. The stress of a surgery will increase the magnitude of miniaturization in hairs that […]
There are many things that you need to explore. Amongst them might be a visit to Boston Medical Group (for treating ED that does not respond to drugs like Viagra), but I would first ask your doctor about your problem. He must certainly have expertise to help you and knowing your testosterone levels might help.
Human growth hormone (HGH) does cause hair loss and changes in hair texture. Discuss this with your physician, but I’d probably stop it and wait 8 months or so to see if you return to your normal state. If any of the readers have any experience here, I would love to hear from you at […]
Your hair transplant doctor should have told you this. Hair that was transplanted is considered permanent after a week or two. Either you are an obsessive compulsive or have not been told the right information. You do not have to be so careful 4 months out from surgery. The point of the surgery is to […]
Necrosis causes the skin to turn black (it is called gangrene). I would love to know more details, like who was your surgeon and what did he/she tell you caused this? I might be able to help, but I’d need to examine you first. As you are in Los Angeles, you should consider paying me […]
As you did not identify the doctor, I will tell you some of the problems I have with what you reported above: “My doctor says i need to have the second procedure done now” — One never needs to have a second procedure, as the first one should’ve been designed as a stand alone procedure. […]
I have not seen this type of change associated with a brow lift incision. I have seen hair loss with a finer hair appearing in front of the brow lift incision, but I have not seen someone change variable parts of the scalp hair and not other parts. I would have to examine you to […]
You should be asking these questions to the doctor who performed your surgery. Without examining you, I can only guess. In general, one can develop folliculitis after a few months from the surgery as the new hairs grow. Or there can be an infection (though rare) which can cause bumps. Or there can be foreign […]
Yes, it will take somewhere between 7-14 months after your hair transplant to see the end result. Hair does grow in stages, not all equal. The sleep cycle for hair varies between 3-8 months easily and that is why I tell patients to wait at least 7 months to see 80-90% of the growth. I […]
