Hair transplant DHI. Crust is still here after 8 days. Should I wait for it to fall off on its own? (Photo)

Lesi888Mar 4, 2019
Hi. I had a hair transplant last week in Monday, so in the morning it will be 8 days since operation. I'm worried because my crust is still there and it is a lot of it. Can I pick it off without worrying that my hair will fall off or should I wait for it to fall off by its own? I put some bepanthen on it. Any advice ? The back is ok but front is worrying. I Had transplant in turkey.

Medications such a Propecia or Rogaine can help and for some people it may delay the balding for many years. Surgery also helps but it is just rearranging what you already have. Scalp MicroPigmentation also helps but that is not real hair. The point is that every option has its limitations....

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
