Answer: Scalp crust after surgey Each doctor has a particular post-op scalp care protocol. Crusting at ten days is not uncommon, and the hair follicles should be very securely attached at this point. I advise my patients to gently massage their scalps with the pads of their fingers at ten days in order to gently remove any crusts. Hair shafts may come out with the crusts, but the healed follicles should remain behind and begin growing new hairs in 2-3 months.

Answer: Crusting I am concerned that some of what I see is more than crusting but something that is called necrosis of the scalp. Go back and talk to your doctor about this term
