Asked By:Intellectual633 in Mississauga, ON

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.
