Dead Skin in Recipient Area After Transplant – Balding Blog

Hello Doc

I had my hair transplant done about 1 and 1/2 months ago. Couple days ago i went to see a car race. It was 98F and i was wearing a baseball cap. I stood in the sun for about 15 min and i was sweating badly coz of the heat. I went to mens room to cool off and sprinkel some cold water on my head. When i took my cap off i saw sweat dripping off my fore head and there were like white tiny things on my forehead (transplanted region). I wiped my fore head i didnt see any thing on the paper towel.I am little concerned, Were they roots of the new transplanted hair? Or just the skin.

Thanks very much for your advise.

You may have left some mild crusting still in the recipient area. When washing is not vigorous, the dead skin accumulates in the recipient area and needs to be washed off when shampooing. The sweat accomplishes the same thing. Don’t worry, be happy! The exciting times are yet to come as the hair grows in.
