If this occurred on day 10 - 12 than more than likely it's just the shaft that has broken off with the scab.Typically the follicle is safe and sound and being nourished from your blood supply.Now if you picked these off before day 10, that could be a different story.

If you keep picking at the transplanted hairs you may be dislodging grafts.  If you are concerned about this follow up with your doctor for a recheck.

It is normal for the hair shafts to fall off a couple of weeks after the hair transplant procedure. The hair follicle will remain and will start to grow in after a few months.

If you did not pick these off, then don't worry as it is probably normal shedding. If  you picked the scabs off, the you might have picked out the grafts.
