Scalp dermatitis can make a transplant plan less predictable. Inflammation changes comfort, washing tolerance and how the scalp looks during examination.
The first step is to identify whether symptoms are occasional dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or irritation from products.
Patients should avoid starting strong topical treatments right before surgery without guidance. A sudden change can irritate the scalp or confuse the recovery picture.
A calmer scalp gives the clinic a clearer view and gives the patient a more comfortable first recovery week.
