MikeG185 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I went to get an FUE done 8 days ago and its almost like there are just BUMPS. I had a FEW scabs that came out yesterday with the grafts but ive been reading that there are supposed to be scabs that fall out. I called the clinic and the people got a bit rude when they hung up because I was concerned. There is a small amount of hair growing on my head. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Senior Member ahmeda87 Posted July 23, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2019 hey man, do you have better pics? also no bleeding? you would be bleeding heavily if a graft fell out. So to be more clear, is it just a scab with a hair attached falling out? finally where did you get it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Blake Bloxham Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Mike, How are you washing it? The little "bumps" appear to be excessive superficial tissue left on the grafts. This is not uncommon in FUE. It typically drys out like this, and then needs to be scrubbed away. 1 Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.

MikeG185 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have just been pouring cups of water and soap on it and last night was the first wash with jets and scrubbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCap Posted July 24, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2019 After 8 days you can not harm anything. Get in the shower and let everything soak. Use the tips of your fingers and massage, (scrub). You'll find that some scabs/crusts will be a bit more persistent. Do the same thing the next day and get them off. Sometimes hair will start growing from the get-go. This just means you're ahead of everyone else by 3-4 months. This is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Blake Bloxham Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi Mike, Double check with your clinic first, but I would recommend, as LaserCap said above, to scrub harder. I think these are just little "scabs" formed by the dried part of the superficial tissue left on the grafts. You should be able to knock these off and obtain more of the "buzz cut" look we want to see post-transplant. Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted July 31, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2019 I agree with the other comments but I will caution you against rubbing too hard on the scabbed areas. Your head is still VERY numb. I scrubbed my head a bit too aggressively after my first surgery and actually scratched my scalp a bit rubbing too hard. Since your head is so numb you don’t really feel your finger nails scratching your scalp. Just be careful. The scabs will come off on their own in the shower but moderate rubbing will speed up the process a bit. Just be careful.
