Its been nearly 4 weeks since my op 3250 graft strip. My donor line still has some scabs left on it and if I pick them I feel it will bleed, also not to mention the urge of itching, combined with a touch of tender feeling and numbness.

Is this normal guys

Abby,

Very normal! I believe I had the occasional scab form on the donor scar up to several months, maybe 6. It will also periodically itch.

Most likely what is happening is that hairs are pushing their way through causing the itch, this combined with normal healing. The scabs could be ingrown hairs that burst and formed a scab.

This will all stop eventually.

Best wishes,

Falc
