Day 5 after FUE for hairline (3200 grafts). I see two wide cracks cutting through the transplanted area (Photo

philosinausini
I've read a lot of internet opinions in the last couple of hours and have become panicky. I've gotten the transplant done from another city and the doctor doesn't seem too keen on talking over phone. He texted me that the cracks are nothing but separations of blood scabs, that I need not worry and that I should apply Aloe Vera gel twice a day, once after shower and next in the evening. Have I lost the grafts in the cracked areas? I've not seen any fallen graft, not even on my pillow.
