Tips for removing scabs without damaging follicles?

January 15, 2016
Asked By:DublinTurkey in Ireland, IN

I had my FUE transplant 6 days ago and I am back to work Tuesday I have been very gentle with the after care and shampooing but I still have a fair few scabs left! I heard that you can leave baby shampoo on the scalp for 30 minutes to help is this true? Also when can I first give my scalp a good scrub knowing that the grafts are safe?
