I am 7 days post op FUE. The last 3 days I've had discomfort in donor area which has some relive with ibuprofen 600mg as needed. Since it was itching a bit and the discomfort seemed to be in areas of crust in donor area, I gently scraped off a few hundred dandruff/blackhead looking crusts from donor area.
