Almost 15 grafts which looks like black crust with hairs attached to it are shedding from 10th day of my surgery. Is it OK. Also from when can I remove my hat and walk around as the recipient area still clearly shows I had transplant. Due to wearing hat it's sweating and grafts are falling after removing hat. Wat should I do. I consulted doc she says it's common after 10 days and it gives place to new hair growth & use Saline.

Hair transplant to the scar generally do not work as you may expect. Your doctor who performed your surgery (who knows you, has examined you, and performed surgery on you) can answer your questions better.
