Asked By:ESTEFANB in Italy, IT

Dear all, It has been 14 days I was grafted by FUE. Part of scabs fell by the use of oils that morning in a circular motion by my finger but In the afternoon I rubbed dry my hair to remove the scabs that fell with the hair. My question was if I damaged my grafts or follicles?? Thank you in advance
