I'm currently 18 years old and my beard is patchy. All males in my family have a beard. Thus, I know I will mostly get one. So, if I use minoxidil to grow a beard faster. Will I keep the beard progress when I stop? As I would have grown one anyways as my genetics allow it. I won't be forcing my body to grow hairs that it wouldn't have grow naturally couple months or years. Is my logic right?

It can take over a month for transplanted hairs to fall out initially, so not seeing any shedding at day 12 is nothing to be alarmed about. Using scissors should also be fine, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. As for the bumps, you need to see your doctor. Without a picture or any sort...
That should be fine to do at 10 days, but consult with your doctor. Excessively dry skin is unusual and your doctor should know about it. Plus, they may be able to suggest something to help relieve the dryness for you.
Each surgeon has his own opinion and style.You do not need a huge amount of grafts. Please consult with different surgeons and after you will get your own opinion about how many grafts will be needed to fill in that part.
