How to differentiate a crust coming out if it's with a follicle or without a follicle? (photo)

Sam1829
I'm 1 week post HT, per my doc instructions I started Gently with shampoo and conditioner beginning day 3. Over the past couple of days a lot of scab and crust came out with washing. I do not see any hair in the crust. I have tendency to rub my scalp and more crust comes out. I noticed few spots with little bleeding. I'm worried if my grafts are coming out. Your responses are appreciated. I'm attaching a photo.
