Asked By:Deal123 in US

Hello, I recently had a hair transplant with 3000 grafts. Once scabs appeared, I washed them off gradually with soap water after loosening up. It's Been 21 days now. See attached image 1. However, problem is if you look at image 2, you will see many black dots (where I hair is shed)... Will those dots or hair ever come back? Please see image 2 closely.. Those black dots had hair!!
