Is it actually harmful to not rinse or wash recipient area say for as long as 5 to 7 days post transplant? (Photo)

Jhkansas
It took 7 hours to harvest via ARTAS 2200 grafts from me being degree 6 bald guy. Implanting took 4 hours. Is it harmful to not rinse or wash recipient hair 4 , 5 , 7, 10 days after robotic transplant. Lower right small mucoid area from hitting head on car door. You know I am clumsy so I think it is better to not to rinse or wash recipient area for 7 days.
