It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.

No damage could be done to the transplanted grafts after the first 5 days from your procedure. We recommend aggressive hair wash following the first 5 days.

Using a shampoo with ketoconazole one month after fue, will not damage the grafts...After two weeks of hair transplantation  it is acceptable  to wash hairs as normal /preoperative period of surgery. All scabs should be cleaned with pressured (not gentle) massage to transplant area  after 2 weeks .Dont forget that you may wash your head with normal pressure and if you need you can use a wet towel with soap for massage the scabby area, it Works very well to remove scabs .Patient may feel free to loosen any scabs on his/her head by massaging and that will not  damage the grafts after 2 weeks .

At a month I doubt that you could have damaged the grafts as final healing should have occurred by then
