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.
Answer: Scabbing after FUE Greetings, The donor area after FUE, whether by hand or ARTAS, takes some time to heal. Most patients heal atraumatically over a period of weeks. As your hairs begin to grow, the donor area becomes harder to see. Daily washes with mild soap can help keep the donor area clean. If scabs form, mild soap and water can be helpful. We use PRP in the donor area to facilitate healing as well. Best, Anil Shah

Answer: Scabs at 2 Weeks If rubbing with shampoo+conditioner isn't working I recommend baby oil. Let it sit on your scalp for 5-10 minutes then gently rub off the scabs. It's more effective than shampoo but also harder to rinse out afterwards. Argon oil would probably be fine too. Good luck!

Answer: Scab removal post hair transplant After the 5th day you may wash your hair as you normally do. It is best to moisten the scalp first while in the shower then gently massage the scalp to remove the scabs rather than use an oil. See the link below for detailed hair wash/clot removal instructions.

Answer: Soften scabs/crust or dried up blood after FUE After two weeks of hair transplantation it is acceptable to wash hairs as normal /preoperative period of surgery. Patient may feel free to loosen any scabs on his/her head by massaging and that will not damage the grafts after 2 weeks .
