Grafts sticking out with white bulb and cleaning of scabs and crusts. (Photo)

jojo1703
Looking at transplant location I can see several raised white areas that stick out of the scalp. Many look ready to fall out/off and look like the "bulbs" Trabsplanted on the crown. The hairline ones are not sticking out at all. Wanting to confirm grafts are ok. It's been 7 days. We have read many methods of cleaning scabs & crust and want to use the one that will not damage the grafts. Do we use pads of fingers to scrub off? I've seen on here mention of using a qtip and rolling. Which is best?
