Scabbing turned white and flaking off, should I be concerned? (Photos)

w00dzy87
8 days after FUE and continuing to wash as per doctors instructions. Today I noticed the scabbing had turned white and is flaking off. Just wondering if this is ok, I'd imagine the actual root is far longer and bigger than the dot but wanted to be certain.
