Answer: Caking of crust after hair transplant This crust results from babying the recipient area too much after a hair transplant. We recommend shampooing at least once per day and even twice pre pay if there is oozing. This is done in a gentle manner lathering the donor area and applying the suds gently to the transplant area. Always use a gentle up and down motion but no rubbing or side motion as this can dislodge the grafts. At this point consider applying lubricant such as vitamin E oil, or K-Y jelly to the caked area 1-2 hours before shampooing. The crust will soon start to come off. Please check with your Doctor. Hope this helps.

Answer: Cracks on your recipient area What you are looking at is crusting, excessive crusting that reflects poor post-operative washing techniques. With this degree of crusting, you will not have to wait a few weeks, continue daily shampoos, and wait until the crusts shen on their own. IF you pull of these crusts, then the grafts will come out with the crusts.
