Ladies who use Ketoconazole 2%, do you use any other shampoo/conditioner between washes? I use keto for Seborrheic dermatitis which it controls, however it leaves my scalp super dry. I want to add moisturizing products to my regimen that won’t aggravate my scalp further.
Yesterday, I had an infusion of Injectafer 750 mg. Since then, I’ve been feeling like crap; nausea, fatigue, body aches, abdominal cramping. I’ve had several infusions over the span of 3 years. This is weird. I can’t think of anything else that would cause this. I’m just going to relax for the rest of the day, but it’s been racking my brain. Plus, I’m supposed to receive a second infusion next week.
Post-op day 13. Saw the surgeon today. He said I can wash my hair with my normal shampoo which is Ketoconazole 2%. He said wait another week for a haircut and nothing on my head until he sees me at our next follow-up which is in 3 months. He also never assessed the donor site. What am I going to do??? I don’t want to walk around and go to work like this, especially since I’ll be going through shock loss soon. I was super excited about this but now I’m feeling down.
I have iron deficiency anemia. My hematologist made some recommendations for supplements, but they all make me nauseous. Are there any that are “gut-friendly”? Bonus if they also stimulate hair growth.
What med combo is ideal post HT..Minoxidil/Spironolactone or Minoxidil/Finasteride? I didn’t have a clear diagnosis prior to HT, other than iron deficiency anemia requiring IV infusions due to poor oral supplement absorption. I use 2% Ketoconazole shampoo and selenium sulfide topical lotion for Seborrheic dermatitis, which is controlled, but topical minox aggravates it. My goal is density and hoping my hairline will catch up with the back of my head. I’m post-op day 11 and can’t wait to wash my hair again.

I was reading through some posts and realized that post-op instructions tend to vary. I’m post-op day 6. Saw my surgeon today and he told me to continue to sleep upright with a neck pillow, don’t wash my hair, and absolutely nothing on my head, except saline mist to grafts. No sun, no sweating, no bending over, and no lifting anything heavy or more than 20 lbs for 2 more weeks. He wants to see me again in 1 week. Some seem to have more lenient instructions. Guess I’m just overthinking things.
My surgeon is giving me an option, even though we’ve discussed potential side effects. My goal is to regrow my thick, curly hair that I once had, or get as close as possible. I care more about density than length and would be ok with shoulder length as the trade off.

Wondering how my donor site will look after it heals. I hope those bald spots will be covered and it won’t look so thin. Looks like I gave myself the worse haircut ever.
Was anyone prescribed finasteride/minoxidil after FUE and experienced side effects. I was on 1.5 of OM prior to FUE but had to discontinue due to water retention/right leg swelling. I’m scared to restart. I need an alternative without the side effects. Topical minox gave me terrible dermatitis.
I was allowed to gently wash my hair and grafts with baby shampoo. Have some soreness at the back of my head and facial swelling. The donor site looks crazy🤪

I took the plunge and did FUE. Post op day 1. I’m swollen, have some pain, and super sleepy, but I’m glad it’s done. 2,563 grafts transplanted to hairline and temples. The surgeon told me my donor site (back of head) is so thick and dense that some contained as many as 7 follicles.
