Hi, I had 4040 grafts done 7 days ago, and my recipient area is still crusty/with scabs. Since day 4 I have applied panthenol prior to shampooing, but I was provided no spray to keep the grafts moist. Is it normal? Can the presence of crusts/scabs after one week affect my outcome? Thank you.

After one month most doctors would consider your transplant recovery finished. So there aren't really any normal activities/products that you shouldn't be using at 6 weeks- hair fibers and concealers are fine to use, unless your doctor has told you to wait longer than 6 weeks for them.
