I did the FUE two weeks ago and the last 3 days i started to slightly scratch my head to make the scabs fall. But the last 2 days i feel my head itching and I am worried, am I losing grafts? Also my scalp seems to be a little bit red now. Is that normal?

Answer: Hair transplant post op FUE At 2 weeks post op it can be normal to have some slight redness and irritation. At 2 weeks those grafts are firmly placed in your scalp and would not be able to be removed by scratching them.

Answer: Scabs At two weeks lightly scratching is generally fine, as long as you aren't doing it to pick off scabs/crusts. The scabs should have all fallen off by day 14, if they haven't you may want to contact your doctor about how to properly wash them off. I recommend letting shampoo soak for 5-10 minutes, rinsing, letting condition soak 5-10 minutes, gently scrubbing with finger pads, then rinsing. If that doesn't work after a few days try it with baby oil.
