I still haven't washed my recipient area except with pouring water mixed with baby shampoo on it. nothinh much have actually changed regarding to scaps, blood ..etc The thing is my doctor told me that he wants to do a peeling skin treatment to get rid of the scaps after 7 days exactly. is it safe to do such thing before the 10-12 days post surgery -dont touch rule-? is peeling skin an effective treatment? Thanks
