Scabbing after day 21. What should I do? (Photo)

August 9, 2017
Asked By:Ali khan427 in Dubai, AE

I had hair transplant 21 days before, FUT & FUE hybrid 3400 grafts. I had been taking care of grafts and not washing them vigorously at all. From last 2 days i had been applying baby oil for 15-20min on scalp before shampooing(Baby shampoo) to remove scabs but still there are so many left. Am still not doing the circular motion massaging as i don't want to damage my grafts. still with scabs sometimes i see hairs attached when they fall. Any suggestion on my above routine to remove scabs
