Hi Everyone - I underwent FUE (~3000 grafts) about 2 weeks ago. As everyone, regardless of all the videos and messages read, I’m a little concerned about potentially losing grafts.
For me even from day 8, scabs didnt really start falling off but were super dry (I had to wash my hair with the shampoo provided on day 7 in the evening). Afterwards, I unfortunately sometimes started picking on the scabs which resulted in some of them falling off and most of them contained hair attached to them. There was no blood or bleeding present at all, I havent seen any blood after the first night of surgery.
My question is really if I could have dislodged grafts by “artificially” picking on the scabs instead of waiting for them to fall off by themselves? I read that probably not as there was no blood, still, seems everyone who asked had some form of an “accident” while I was actually picking on the scabs that were still attached to my scalp... attaching some pics.
