2 months post-op FUE, should I have a white substance after washing recipient area? (Photo)

Handsome guy
So I was asking about this question before. "When I take a shower I notice little white substance on the recipient area, more precise it like little white balls. These little balls disappears after a while (about 30 min). This happens every time a take a shower. My question is what it is and does it effect my hair transplant in a negative way? I had the FUE procedure 2.5 months ago". This time I have a picture attached.
