I have a little bit skin shedding in the recipient area 2 months after ht. If I remove the skin by gentle scratch I see sometimes couple of hairs that didn't fall out after the ht. My question: 1. Is it normal that the skin shedding? 2. Does the hair that was attached to the skin that I gently scratch means that I lost the graft? Thx

At two-month mark, it doesn't cause any harms to the follicle. By the way, having pimples during this period is a normal event. You can just leave it and do nothing if it doesn't annoy you.
Given the stage your at after hair transplant i.e. 6 weeks there is no issue with using oil. Both organ and coconut oil are fine to use. In fact a lot of my clients at this stage prefer to use oil in order to reduce the itch and dryness that may occur. It helps sooth the scalp. All the best.
