50/50 peroxide & water on hair transplant recipient area on day 5 for crusts. Did I doom my procedure?

Asked By:Dolewhip in Glen Allen, VA

I applied a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide & water in a misting bottle to my recipient area 5 days after a hair transplant to try to help dissolve crusting. after few minutes I drizzled some straight water over this with a cup; then lightly shampooed barely touching and rinsed again. I later read on internet that hydrogen peroxide is toxic and will damage grafts. Is there any hope that I may be safe since it was day 5 & the scabs may have acted like a protective cover against peroxide?
