7 weeks post op hair transplant, still have scabs. My clinic told me to scrub them out. Is this normal, have I lost grafts?

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
