Can I lose grafts or hair follicles 7 days after hair transplant by scratching the scubs carefully with my finger and nails?

May 22, 2015
Asked By:JohnCy in Cyprus Europe

Hello I had a FUE hair transplant 9 days and started gently removing the scubs, yesterday with my fingers and nails because the area was very dry and itchy. The problem is that with the scubs some hair attached to them on both sides came out and some scubs where with 2 or 3 hairs attached but no bleeding occur on my transplanted area. I hope this are not the grafts that came out can you help me on this? I still have small hairs left without scubs and I collect what came off and send you a photo
