I had Fue HT 6 days ago and got first wash after 2 days of HT. then my doctor provided me Foam to put 30 min. on transplanted area n then wash then put shampoo n wash again with (tap tap gentle technique) like rinse the water but not rub at all for first 7 wash post operation. Suddenly after 3 days of wash I noticed first like like crack/scab on my head n then now these increasing as per my attached pics. Could you please guide me is it normal? Or what should I do next if something going wrong?

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.
