Concealers (dermmatch, Toppik) - Fue Post-op

[CliffLee]

I am now 19 days post-op - FUE 3000 grafts. Am I OK to use topical concealers, both masking scalp lotions such as DermMatch and fiber shakers, such as Toppik and Nanogen? Would this need to be washed off each night, or could this be worn in for 2-3 days at as time?

I don't want to potentially damage the yield growth.

According to my post op instruction im advised not to use concealers for 12months. Sounds abit overkill i guess, but it is what it is. Suppose its the risk of the concealer making your scalp irritated?

Thanks for the reply. That does seem overkill. I've since found my own Dr's instructions and they state after 2 weeks concealers can be used, unless there is scabbing.

I'm just not sure I'd be able to do 12 months (or even 3 months)! My hair is already shedding a decent amount of hair and also the pinkness can only be explained as sun burn for soo long... I really need the concealers for these next few months!
