Will rubbing off grafts 16 days after my hair transplant damage my end result? (Photos)

Asked By:app998 in Coppell, TX

I had a hair transplant 16 days ago 2200 g. Recently I started taking a shower while rubbing my scalp instead of just pouring water on my head and shampoo and a lot off scabs keep falling out. My surgeon advised me to rub them off after 24 days however I gently rub my head and they come off like flakes with dead skin. I’ve attached a photo of one of them but I’ve shed quite a lot. I’ve had no bleeding anywhere whatsoever but am afraid that my rubbing of the scabs might interfere with my result.
