I had a FUE Transplant done 8 days ago, whilst in the shower yesterday I lightly massaged the transplanted area. Majority of the scabs rubbed off however I am worried that I have damaged or removed some of the grafts. As you can see in attached pictures, there seems to be indents on my head, with redness and blood. Have I damaged this area and how to I treat this moving forward? Please help

Hello,
Dry scalp is fairly common after hair transplantation. Lots of solutions here including use of conditioner, antibiotic ointment, vaseline. A great first step is to contact your hair transplant surgeon and see what solution works best for you.

6 months after the hair surgery it is really early to say the result will be good or bad but surely you will have much more growth if everything is done properly.
Thats a very young age to have a hair transplant. you should definitely be on finasteride as well as rogaine and laser devices. I would recommend seeing an experienced physician who can setup a plan for you in terms of medical management of hair loss.
