Hi Please help me to answer. Had a FUE transplant 14 days ago with 2000 grafts, as advised by my doctor, I have been pouring baby shampoo water then rinsed-off transplant area for days 5,7,9,11,13. Today I had a proper shampoo on my transplant area where I gently rubbed the area. My head was itching so I contacted my Surgeon's manager today who advised me that its ok to circular rub the scabs, and as I did on advise I noticed hair attached to these, am i damaging the follicles/trsnsplant ? MTks

Answer: Post op hair wash Hair shaft and scabs mostly fall down together and there is nothing to worry unless there is bleeding. The grafts are secure by now . Dont be afraid to massage the recipient area during the washing

Answer: Crusting after FUE An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend and if you washed it properly, there will be no crusts on it, even the very next day. Use of a sponge which we supply our patients, a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crusts are present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 7-10 days with daily washing.
