In June 2022 I underwent a hair transplant to my hairline. I have since notice a spot, that has looked like a scab they wont heal. I have removed the scab a few times but after a while, the scab returns. I now have a few spots in the same area. They look like the puncture spots where the hair was transplanted. I have wondered if its possibly an ingrown hair. I cant imagine this is normal?
I had a hair transplant over a year ago. 2 weeks after the procedure, I started the process of removing the scabs. My surgeon told me not to remove them because I was going to see him 2 weeks later (totaling 1 month), so he wanted to be able to see the scabs, so that he could see the previous work he did, prior to touching it up a bit. Was leaving the scabs on my head over a month safe for my grafts and their breathability? My Transplant didnt turn out as planned.
I'm 24 year old male. I had a hair transplant of 3000 grafts 7 days ago. Tonight I washed my hair and gently rubbed it with my fingers because that's how my doctor advised me. What really scared me is that I could see some scabs in my hand that looked like grafts. They were the same size and they had hair in it. Is it possible that I pulled out some? And also, is it normal that my head is still full of scabs after 7 days? Shouldn't it heal faster? Are these cracks on my head normal?
The scabs on my reception are did not go away even I wash my hear as directed by doctor. I put the ointment on 9th day and gently massage the reception area. After washing it removed most of the scabs without any force. I put the ointment tomorrow again end finally after the next wash I was free of scabs. I was told by doctor that I did huge mistake and that it kills half of my grafts??? (Why not all or 2/3????) Is it true? I am very worried if it really happened and my hair translation is ruined.
It's my 22nd day after the transplant and I used baby oil to moisturize and remove the scabs. I also have an acute case of sebhoric dermatitis with a lot of flake skin. when I rubbed the transplanted area after, a lot of hair fell of with the scabs. When I rubbed the scaling, it came off with hair too. Is it possible that I may have pulled out the root or the follicle along with the scans. How do i know the difference between scabs and follicles.
I 'd a hair transplant of 6000 grafts 11 days ago .Tonight,I washed my head gently rubbed donor area with fingers and direct touches with shampoo to the recipient area as per doctor's advise.What scared me is that I could pull out some scabs from my the transplanted area they looked like grafts and had hair in it. what I already know is that hairs grown from the transplanted grafts fall (3rd- 4th week) and regrow after 2 months .But grafts themselves fall ?? is that normal ? what's left?
Hi, this morning I had been rubbing my hair in right corner not realising whilst I was asleep. I sent picture to clinic where I got it done and someone responded saying seems like 7weeks post op you still have quite few scabs and scrub them out. Its okay to put some force hair falling out would be normal. I have now scrubbed lightly even though he said with some pressure and washed hair, it now looks like the later pictures. Is this normal and does it look Ive lost grafts? Regards, Hammad
Hello, I am currently on day 13 after my hair transplant and still have 90% of the scabs. I have been washing my hair everyday since the transplant using the lotion and shampoo i was given by my clinic but the scabs are not falling off. I heard that if you leave them for too long after day 14 it can impact the hair growth, is that true? What's the best way to remove them would soaking them in baby oil and letting the baby oil sit for a while then washing it be a good idea?
Hi, My doctor had advised to gently start using my hands while shampooing after 2 weeks of transplant.This is to remove the scabs. However , during this process,I am also losing some grafts along with the scabs. Is this normal?
I recognized 6 days after the surgery that the scabs looks like grafts. There are hairs with a white / brown bulb on the end.... as you can see on the picture. Now the problem is that nearly all scabs I have lost till now (day 10) looking like that. I sent a picture to my doktor and he answered me that he also thinkst that I m loosing grafts. So is this possible ... or am im losing only the dryed tip of the follicle?
