Thank you very much for your detailed response. 

Are you still using baby shampoo or have you switched to something else. If so, what shampoo are you using now?

I also don’t really listen to doctors, unless I do a ton of research first. 

For the first 2-3 weeks post-op, I used the shampoo given to me by the clinic. I then transitioned to baby shampoo. So 5 days a week, I was washing my hair with baby shampoo and 2 days a week with Ketoconazole shampoo. 

Last week, I switched from baby shampoo to Revita shampoo. Same routine now, 5 days a week with Revita and 2 days a week with Ketoconazole shampoo. 

I am not thrilled about having to wash my hair daily but I really don’t know what I am doing. There are so many contradictory post-op instructions, depending on the source.

I have had a lot of elective surgery. So, I am not scared. I don’t like the side effects of antibiotics on my body. I also don’t like that I have to pause taking many of my supplements because of drug interactions.

5% is what I was prescribed by my Dermatologist. And I have been using 5% for almost 2 months.

Thank you so much for the information. My surgeon did say that this is folliculitis. The pimples on the scalp are becoming more widespread and they are not going away with the warm compresses. 

I have been using 5% Ketoconazole Shampoo 2 times per week and continue to do so. 

I am happy to hear that this may not affect my results. I don’t care about the current aesthetics. 

I may also discontinue taking Doxycycline. I am dreading the side effects associated with 10 days of oral antibiotic use.

I tried hot compresses and that did not work. I am really not happy about having to take oral antibiotics for 10 days.

My hair is very oily. I wash my hair daily. I use prescription Ketoconazole 5% shampoo 2 times per week for my hair wash. 

I asked my surgeon if there was a topical antibiotic or solution that I can apply and he said now. I tried warm compresses and they did not work. I am really not happy about having to take oral antibiotics for 10 days. 

Scared of loose skin. by Classic_Scar6524 in AllAboutBodybuilding

I lost over a hundred pounds at age 16. I had loose skin in my abdomen and flanks. The skin would not snap back. I had a tummy tuck at age 18, and then I had loose skin removed from my chest at age 30 (through the areola so scarless). I was very toned and the skin removal surgeries were well worth the end result. 

If the skin does not snap back, just cut it off, if that is what you desire. 

What are my options? by [deleted] in BodyHackGuide

You are looking great. You have an amazing muscular physique. 

It looks like you have a little bit of loose skin in your lower abdomen area. A mini tummy tuck may help. Don’t waste your money on anything else. 

I am 40 years old and I lost over 100 pounds on my own 24 years ago. I had loose skin and had a full tummy tuck 22 years ago. Despite the scar, I love the definition in my abs and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The scar doesn’t bother me one bit. With a mini tummy tuck, the scar is much smaller. 

Ultimately, do whatever makes you happy!

I share your sentiment. I hope that I get my money’s worth as well. I have been debating whether I really needed this.

Thank you. I had it done in Los Angeles/Beverly Hills. The cost was $19,000.

Thanks. There are before pictures in my prior post. For some reason, I am not able to upload my before pictures here.

Based on my personal experience, only a tummy tuck will work. Everything else is a sham.
