9 days post op - scans are starting to fall off but I've noticed some scabs have hairs in them

Asked By:kammyk85 in Dortmund, DE

I'm 9 days post op and scabs have been falling off my head after washing for past day or so. I have not scrubbed or anything only lightly patted my head or rolled my fingers over the top of my scalp. Some of the scabs have little hairs stuck to them. Only appears to be hairs no roots or anything like that. Is this something to worry about?
