Is it safe to apply Betnovate scalp cream three weeks after an FUE procedure to help reduce redness?

Since Betnovate is a steroid cream, I'm uncertain whether it might have any effect on the success rate of the FUE procedure.

Using Betnovate scalp cream, which contains the steroid betamethasone, after an FUE hair transplant procedure to reduce redness may not be recommended without consulting your doctor or the surgeon who performed the procedure. Although topical steroids like Betnovate can help reduce inflammation and redness, they can have side effects including skin thinning, delayed wound healing and possibly interference with the healing process after a surgical procedure. It is feared that using steroid creams too soon after a hair transplant procedure may affect the success rate of the FUE procedure by potentially interfering with the healing of the donor and recipient areas. Your healthcare provider may recommend alternative topical treatments or methods to manage redness and inflammation after your hair transplant surgery that are safer and more suitable for the healing process.
