Hey guys hope your all well, quick question, i still have alot of scabs at the recipient site, am i being way to gentle when cleaning? i ve been looking at a few peoples pictures and evryone seems quite clean after a week, any tips on how to get it clean, ive started using my finger pads today with shampoo and that helped, but even though i have alot of native hair im worried i wont be ready for a chop my monday when im due back at work

My doctor adviced me to try to remove the scabs within 2 weeks. After 16 days the risk of losing grafts is very minimal. So you can use more force to try to get rid of the scabs. According to my surgeon having scabs for too long can have a (very minimal) negative influence on the result.

The trick on scabs is to gently work on them as soon as possible. Yes, by day 16 they really should be gone and your grafts are seated so, check with your Doc, but you can probably work them much more aggressively now..........just don't use your fingernails !

thanks guys gonna try and get rid of those scabs, getting bored of seeing them hehe

this is what my doctor did to remove my scabs..wash your hair, soak shampoo on your graft area for 5 minutes. rinse the shampoo off, bloat dry, while the scabs is still bit wet, use a qtip and gently roll the scabs over, they will come off cleanly like wallpaper. put a lil bit pressure if you need to.
thats how my doctor tech got all the scabs off.

thanks jodirt, i gt the majority off today and it all looks alot better, ive started to shed aswell, as couple of hairs were attached to some of the larger scabs,i thik the rest should be following suit over coming weeks
