Is this cobblestoning? 10 days after FUE transplant

EDIT: I figured out that this is just crusting. With a bit of extra water pressure, the fleshy colored growths slide off revealing smooth skin. You can delete this post or keep it here as an example of normal crusting that appears like excess follicle protruding.

If you’ve had a transplant, can you let me know if you had such bumpiness? Is it normal to have these kinds of fleshy growths around hairs 10 days after a transplant? Due to the fact that many aspects of my transplant seemed to have been below my expectations, I’m worried this is early manifestation of cobblestoning. I haven’t seen this in anyone else’s post op pics...

These are crusts which are dead graft tissue above the scalpline.

Most docs will want their patients to remove them at 10 days or more post-op.

Definitely not cobblestoning.
