syd113
I had my HT by FUE method 8 days ago and attached is photo of it from today (8th Oct 16). I have 3 questions and would very much appreciate if anyone can help me with it 1) The doctor said they implanted 2200 grafts, does it look like as many or is it less? 2) Can i start removing scabs at this stage? Mt doctor advised i shouldn't touch scabs for 4 weeks, is it overkill? 3) There is burning sensation still at the donor area when i lie down to sleep, is it normal?
