Thinman,
Got pictures? Dead skin is not the same as crusts. The "crusts" or scabs typically come off within 10 to 14 days if you are gently working them off. See How Should I Wash My Hair After a Hair Transplant? The scalp is most likely still healing, and dry flakey skin could be the result of it. You may want to try some Aloe also, which helps with healing and flaking. Best wishes, Falc To learn about how I restored my hair, read my hair restoration story with pictures.

In the event Thinman is referring to crusting, I had them for 24 days. That is until I called my clinic...
I was not shampooing my recipient hair very vigorously. Once I did, the remaining crusts fell off. I do not know if this is your case... Best of luck! ---------------------- Dr. Bernstein 1703 FUT on May 12, 20008 ---------------------- |

thinman123,
I had alot of crusting too. After talking to my doc and reading a few posts, I started to soak my head in a warm bath for about 20 min followed by a shower where I shampoo as described by Falc. I also apply 4 tablespoons of mineral oil to my scalp before I go to bed. Its greasy, but was recommended by my doc and has worked really w ell for me. A lot of the crusting has gone and most of the rest is on its way out. - badger 3279 grafts with Dr Gabel - 06/12/08 |

I ended up runnig a comb through the hair to get the dead skin/crust off. Most of it came off with some hair. It took me an hour, but i gently combed the area and ALOT of the skin came off with some hair. Is there any harm to the grafts by combing it out? I saw no blood or anything. I am sorry, i have a pic but its really blurry and you cant really see the crust too good.

At this point there shouldn't be any harm by combing out the scabs, but I would still shampoo and massage the scabs to remove whats remaining. A shampoo or two with more aggressive massaging of the scabs will take of of the rest. Even with a blurry pics you can tell you have not massaged the recipient area enough. Once the scabs are hydrated, they are soft and easier remove.
