I had hair transplantation 5 days ago and my head is still full of traces of dried blood , should I be worried about this or is it normal and doesn't effect the growth of the new grafts? And how much time should these traces take to fall off ? I will be thankful if I get an answer soon

Answer: No problem As always check with your doctor, but dried blood 5 days after an HT usually just means you are not washing enough or properly. VERY common and usually nothing to worry about. Either way, it has no affect on the grafts which are deep in the skin. HOWEVER, that dry blood CAN become a breeding ground for bacteria so you want to start washing the area as per your doctors instructions. You should be right as rain.Grow well and heal well.

Answer: Traces of blood in recipient area 5 days after transplant These areas form crusts which connect to the grafts. Good washing is critical. A regular hair transplant should be washed at the day after the procedure with regard to the recipient area, but the FUE donor area note that it has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish with FE, not with a strip surgery. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crust are present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 7-10 days with daily washing,.
