Scabs with hair shafts falling out - 2 weeks post-op. (photo)

June 7, 2017
Asked By:Blitz123 in Karachi Pakiatan

On 12th day post my FUE surgery, I was massaging my dry scalp very gently with my finger tips. I found out that the crisp & probably scabs were falling out of scalp. I continued this for the next day too in order to get rid of scab ASAP. On next day I noticed that HAIR were embedded in those scabs/crust. I have been using a mild shampoo as per doctors advise twice a day without touching the recipient area for10 days. Please see the picture and advise of this is normal?
