Shedding or Follicle?

[Bosko17]

Gents -

 

Hope you're doing well tonight. I'm so glad I found this site. I've practically spent the last two days browsing the many articles across the forum. Your extensive knowledge is awesome.

 

Here's my backstory: I am on day 5 of my post-op, having had 2295 FUT grafts transplanted into the general crown area of my head. Although I have not placed my graft area directly under the shower head, I have been using the "bucket" method of showering : filling up a cup and allowing the water to flow over the graft site when washing.

 

When I was cleaning up post-shower this morning, I noticed sizable scabs caught in existing hair. After a very gentle pass with a wide-toothed comb, two hair shafts were on the comb.

In short, is this something to be worried about? This does look like shedding to me, but is day 5 too early to experience shedding of this kind?

 

Thanks so much - I appreciate all your insight.
