What can I use to soften scabs/crust or dried up blood after FUE, so they can fall off. Can I spray like Argon oil? (Photos)

Asked By:butterflys in Destin, Florida

I had my FUE procedure done 2 weeks ago, still have lots of scabs or whatever it is. It's like super dry. I have been washing it everyday, soaking the area with the shampoo first but the scabs don't seem to want to loosen up. I know they would soften if I spray oil on the but don't know if that is ok. Any suggestions? And yes, I did email my doctor, he is overseas and I haven't gotten his reply yet.
