Hello! I had Surgery 11 days ago. I have been washing it twice a day as my doctor instructed however near the front of my head I have scabs, and a couple near the crown. I was just wondering as to when I could actually wash the scabs that managed to form off?. What would be the safest method which doesn't Harm my future results?. Thankyou

We are doing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) routinely for white scars. Each and every person is different and we would have to evaluate your situation first hand, one on one.
I think that you must have had this before your hair transplant. This condition is called cutis verticis gyrata and it is inherited. I doubt that this was caused by hair transplantation considering that I have never seen it as a complication after 16000 surgeries in my clinic
Thank you for submitting your question, at your age, would recommend to continue your minoxidil and finasteride. PRP, laser cap and taking amino acids is recommended. When you are ready for your FUE, you can continue finsasteride, and discontinue rogaine for 1-2 weeks before your surgery. Best ...
