Losing Grafts along with scab/crisp 6-7 days post Hair Transplant (FUE). What corrective actions should I take now?

Anon4058394
On 6th days post my FUE surgery, I was massaging my dry scalp in circular motion slowly with my finger tips. I found out that the crisp & probably scabs were falling out of scalp. I continued this for the next day too in order to get rid of scab ASAP. On next day I noticed that HAIR were embedded in those scabs/crust. I have read that 10 days post surgery grafts are fixed in scalp and shampooing was allowed to remove scabs for first 2 weeks. Have i done wrong? Tell me what to expect & do now :(
