Can I take off the scabs after 7 days of hair transplant?

If you have irrigated your grafts well, there is a simple solution to getting those crusts out of the recipient area.  I have our patients irrigate their new grafts with a spray composed of Lactated Ringer's solution to which I add Liposomal ATP to feed the new grafts energy, particularly in the first 4 days.  At day 7, if there are any scabs remaining in the recipient area, our protocol is to have the patients put a decent amount of baby oil on the grafts and let it sit there for a half an hour.  Then jump in the shower, shampoo a few times and most all of the scabs and crusts should just come right off.  Hope this helps.

The short answer is yes but please do this gentilly. If the scabs are large, then you should soak them with shampoo and warm water. 

Thank you for your question.. The small crusts around the micrographs will fall off naturally at around 10-14 days.  You can wash your hair daily and gently with a mild shampoo.  Try not to remove the crusts and allow them to fall off naturally.  Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. 

You should not be taking scabs off or peeling them off with your hands.  You need to follow your doctor's instructions on hair washing and post operative care.  If you are not sure how to wash your hair, you can also see your doctor for a recheck and your doctors staff can should be able to help you wash your hair (if they offer it).

I would avoid picking scabs off.  By 7 to 10 days they should dissolve or fall off naturally with a good rinsing routine.  However, I'd defer to your doc for his or her post procedure protocol.
