I want to know why there are so many scabs covering my grafts. I can’t see the density that the surgeon put in. What advice can you give me? These are questions you should be asking your surgeon. Scabbing occurs because of bleeding around the grafts and/or leakage of a serous fluid around the grafts […]

scabs should come out by itself, don’t try to remove them on purpose. I can’t tell if they are grafts or scabs from your first pic. I hope they are scabs.. My scabs didn’t come off until day 15th. This is what I like to see immediately after the surgery and the days following the […]
Use a surgical sponge without soap, then dip it into a shampoo solution and make a lot of suds. With the sponge full of soapy shampoo, roll if back to forward on the grafts. Press on the sponge. Little squirts will come from the holes in the sponge and take off all scabs. Repeat it […]
I’ve been soaking and massaging twice a day per my doctor’s orders. I’m on day 5 now and quite a bit of scabbing has come off, but there’s still some left to go. I’m being gentle and no bleeding at all, so I’m just going to keep at it. It is tricky to get scabs […]
I have terrible scabbing just 3 days after my FUE. I haven’t touched the area, what should I do. Use a surgical sponge to wash it by rolling over the grafts, back to front. If you don’t keep the scabbing away, they form in the first three days and won’t come off for 2-4 weeks. […]
These crusts should be allowed to shed with shampoo regularly, leaving the shampoo on the scalp for 10 minutes and then gently rubbing them until they come off. It may take a few days? but don’t push it. After 2 weeks, the risk of graft loss is minimal. Compare this man on the left 1 […]
At 5 days, you have far too many crusts on your beard. What you are seeing is probably the crusting not the Herpes. You should nevertheless start taking your acyclovir because wounds like this tend to bring on the Herpes, possibly in the recipient wounds themselves.Many doctors would have put you on the acyclovir just […]
I am starting to worry about doing damage by picking off my scabs. Is it OK to do that? Absolutely, do not pick off the crusts from the recipient area as the grafts are attached to these crusts and when you pick or pull on them, the graft will come out especially in the first […]
I had 4500 grafts and can’t seem to get these scabs off . It is now 30 days since my surgery and although there are less scabs, they seem to remain. What do you think of the FUE area? These crusts should never have formed. You should have been instructed in a washing protocol after […]
I was wondering, I looked at a post on newhair.com about two post operative examples where they had minimal to no scabbing/crusts. After my hair transplant I was instructed to wait 24 hours before washing, I washed gently by pouring baby shampoo mixed with water over my head. I did this daily. Now at 8 […]
We make a point to wash off all of the crusts and scabs the day and the day after the surgery. Now that you are past 12 days, it is safe to put a shampoo on your head, leave it on for 15 minutes and then gently rub the crusts off. Repeat this twice daily […]
What you have are not scabs but necrosis of the skin in the recipient area. This means that these black areas have skin that has died as a result of your hair transplant. You need so see your surgeon as this will require wound care and eventually you will be left with a scar in that […]
These scabs (crusts) should have been prevented with good washing techniques the day and the day after surgery. Once they form, you run a risk of graft loss until 14 days at which time you can get them out by leaving a shampoo on the area for 10 minutes, getting it water logged, and then […]
Doctors should take charge of the post operative care instructions by teaching patients how to wash their hair on the very next day after surgery. By not teaching the proper technique, patients (like the one in the photo) will have to hide either under a hat or at home for a month until the crusts come […]
The crusts that you had clearly must have pulled out your grafts during their critical period when they were being secured in their recipient sites. If the crusting remains, the grafts are not secure for up to 12 days after the surgery and any attempts to pick off the crusts have the risk of pulling out […]
