after 5-6 days I picked at some of the scabs in the crown area of my head and when I did that some hair fell out with the scabs also when I went to bed the next morning there was more shedding of hair so now I’m worried that the crown area of my head is ruined and that the transplant went to a waste. Will the hair grow back or did I pull out the roots since it was only about 5-6 days post op

Answer: Picking at scabs Probably you lost just a few grafts - if any - by picking at the scabs. After 5-6 days it's likely that the hair bulbs were not removed. Start using Rogaine & hope for the best. Hair grows better on an optimistic head. Especially since it's not likely you did any significant damage.

Answer: Post op hair care Aggressive rubbing to the scalp should be avoided post hair transplant. Itch could be managed with baby oil applied to the scalp.

Answer: 1st week post-op During the first week following your hair transplant surgery you do need to be extra cautious with your transplanted grafts. You may have done some minor damage to this area by scratching at the scabs. It is best that you follow up with the doctor to get a proper assessment of this area.

Answer: Do not Pick the Scabs You did not ruin it but probably killed the ones you pulled out. All surgeons will have their own post operative instructions. Contact your doctor about appropriate follow up care
