For four months since my hair transplant surgery I was wearing as prescribed by Doctors. But when on the fifth month I tried going outside without the hat I started having itchiness on the scalp. Thus I continued wearing cap till the sixth month. What I mean that although it depends from person to person, but four months is minimum.

Did you use sun screen when your hat was off and the itching began? That can make a big difference. Many products condition the scalp in addition to blocking the harmful UV rays.

And why most doctors will want their patients to wait at least 4-6 months post-op before exposing to sun.

Skin meaning tissue with the outer layer (epidermis) and inner layer (dermis).;)

Exactly, except skin is really tissue that we are talking about.

Very true because of the same potentially harmful UV rays. This would also include tanning beds.:eek:
