Jaes Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm 2 weeks post op and just removed my sutures today. I have a lot of scabs from using vitamin oil and wanted to know best time and method to remove them. Should I soak em in warm water for period of time and use fingerprint massage to remove them? I'm little hestiant to touch my recipent area. Another thing - The scabs that I'm refering to is caused by vitamin oil and not the actual post op scabs. I am not sure if there is difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member badger_01 Posted July 31, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2008 The scabs should be on their way out pretty soon.I too was hesitant to touch my scalp and i think that was part of the reason why i still had scabs at 2 weeks post-op. I continued to apply mineral oil liberally at night to help the crusting resolve in place and every evening i soaked my head in a warm bath for 30 min and followed that up with a shower where i GENTLY worked of the crusting by rubbing in a circular motion.

Senior Member Smoothy Posted August 5, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2008 DONT physically remove them. Keep them moist--maybe switch from Oil to Saline and they will eventually come off on their own (probably while shampooing gently) SMOOTHY Shapiro Propecia/Rogaine xtra MSM/Saw Palmetto Nioxin Shampoo Zrii 3oz daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
