I had a hair transplant about one and a half years ago. The hair has grown and reasonably thick. I do however have dandruff and ocasionally scratch my head quite hard, even on the transplanted sections which are at the temples and also use a tooth comb to scratch it. is it possible im doing damage to the transplanted sections, or because its on the skins surface the hair beneath wont be affected? thanks
By the way you phrased your question, it seems you already know the answer. Of course, scratching hair will potentially cause hair loss from what might be traction causes. After a year and a half, you’re not going to pull out any grafts, but treat your scalp and hair with a good anti-dandruff shampoo rather than scratching hard on your scalp. If you have a scalp condition, see a dermatologist or your family doctor. Heavy, hard scratching does not produce much value and can harm your scalp or hair.
