Hi, this morning I had been rubbing my hair in right corner not realising whilst I was asleep. I sent picture to clinic where I got it done and someone responded saying seems like 7weeks post op you still have quite few scabs and scrub them out. Its okay to put some force hair falling out would be normal. I have now scrubbed lightly even though he said with some pressure and washed hair, it now looks like the later pictures. Is this normal and does it look I’ve lost grafts? Regards, Hammad

Answer: Scab cleaning Normal the scab together with transplanted hair will start falling off 2 weeks after surgery. If not, you can start using your fingertip to gently rub it to clean the procedure area. This action might cause the transplanted hair falls out but, no worries, it's normal. Most of them will shed and regrow in the next 3-4 months.

Answer: Scrubbing post HT It is safe to scrub the scabs well around 10 days after the procedure. Different doctors have different instructions, but generally 7-12 days is probably the common belief. 7 weeks is too long to keep it without scrubbing it well. You should do it.
