Pinki Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hello! Sorry for my english :> I'm 14 day post HT and I still have many little scabs that doesn't came off. (i hope you understand that) Acually my recipient area is one big scab...I'm worry becouse I was reading that scabs should came off and I should have no scabs in/on/at 10 day post op... I am washing my hair once a day with a cup (not shower) and I'm not touching my recipient area :> And I also spraying (?) it with salt water...I was reading that maybe I should using shower and massage my recipient area, but I really don't know how. I have little stiff hairs there and I'm not able to touch my skin there without (I don't know..) making something wrong with that hair? (hair from the grafts...) I also bought olive for a children, becouse nurs (she was taking out my stich) says that I can put it on scabs and wait 30 minutes and then wash my hair, what do you think? I was talking with my doctor and he sad that I should not be worry and that I should wait - and scabs will came off... So is it ok to have scabs in 14 day post op? Many, many scabs..about 90% is there. I watched your photos and I see that at this time (2 weeks) you look great, you have only this new hairs and no scabs... That's worry me a lot I'm going back to work on next monday and I'm starting to panic... I will add the photo... Thanks for some advice...

Senior Member TheEmperor Posted December 28, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2009 Typical advice is to massage out the scabs while in the shower after 10 days. Scabs lodged for too long may impact healing and growth. Shampoo them out over the next day or two.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 At this point 14 days post op you can definetly get more aggressive with the hair washing. There is no reason to still have scabs 2 weeks after surgery. If you live close enough to the doctor you should go back and make them clean it. Someone should have contacted you from the clinic to follow up and make sure everything was going well. I recommend showering twice a day and gently rub the recipient area with shampoo. Good luck.
