Brushing off scabs after FUE, 13 days post op.

October 31, 2017
Asked By:zachn85 in Tel Aviv, IL

I had an FUE transplant 13 days ago of 3500 grafts. For the first week I washed very gently by tapping on the area with shampoo in the shower and washed my head with a cup. After 8-9 days I started gently brushing my head with my fingers to take off some scabs and crust. I was told it's too soon to do that but the scabs were just resting on my scalp. I didn't pick at them and most of them fell without hairs, no bleeding. Am I ok? I was a little worried that I may have damaged some grafts.
