Scabs or follicles? I am really stressed (Photo)

August 15, 2017
Asked By:Faraz BG in Winnipeg, MB

It's my 22nd day after the transplant and I used baby oil to moisturize and remove the scabs. I also have an acute case of sebhoric dermatitis with a lot of flake skin. when I rubbed the transplanted area after, a lot of hair fell of with the scabs. When I rubbed the scaling, it came off with hair too. Is it possible that I may have pulled out the root or the follicle along with the scans. How do i know the difference between scabs and follicles.
