3000 grafts FUE implant. Did I damage some of them while removing scabs? (Photo)

Asked By:florinant93 in Uxbridge, F9

I'm on the 6th day post op. Lots of scabbing and dried blood, and today after applying the moisturising cream and washing my hair, I've gently tried to remove some of the scabs. Unfortunately, while doing so, I've realised that some hair has come off as well and a drop of blood (you can see the pic). Did I lose some grafts? I'm really worried now.
