Scabs even after a month. Can transplanted hair fall out with roots during the first month?

Asked By:zanup in Kathmandu

Hei Dr. I have got Hair Transplant one month ago. I still have scab in my scalp and most of the transplanted hair have still not fallen off. But when I massage in showering, some hairs fall off with root (at least looks like root). Can transplanted hair fall off with roots in the period of one month as well ? Are not all grafts set permanently ? Looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance Regards Bijaye
