Regular Member Sambo Posted March 20, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hey guys so I am currently 15 days post op, didn’t get rid of the scabs until day 13, the last bit was quite stubborn. The area is now red where the last patch of scabs were and a black spot to the right of that. It is quite red but seems there are hairs coming out of those areas so hoping I didn’t do any damage and that it all looks normal. I can’t tell if that the black bit is a scab because it hasn’t moved in the last 3 showers I’ve had. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyGraft Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Looks like scabbing to me but I’m not a doctor. When you shampoo, leave it on for 5-10 minutes then rinse well. Or soak your head in the shower for a good 10-15 minutes to soften them then shampoo. These methods should help remove it. density looks good. Who was the surgeon?

Regular Member Sambo Posted March 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Maybe once the ugly duckling stage passes and I get some good growth I’ll put a bunch of pics up. Atm just stressing how to get this little scab off, nothing seems to be working Edited March 20, 2020 by Sambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCap Posted March 20, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 You are being a bit too gingerly. Put more effort into it. After 15 days you will not hurt anything. Let it soak in warm water for a while and scrub away with the tips of your fingers. If nothing works go to the clinic, they can do it for you.

Senior Member Sam818 Posted March 20, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Sweet almond oil is good to apply on the crusts to help get them off. It’s also good for the scalp to reduce the redness and won’t clog your pores. Don’t force the scabs off let them come off on their own. Did you go to H&W?

Senior Member Rolandas Posted March 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2020 Density looks great! I cannot ask you this question... did you get HT only for one side? From these pics it looks like it's been done only on one side! 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Regular Member Sambo Posted March 21, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2020 Haha no, it’s the same on the other side and a little on the mid scalp. Starting to shed now, Those pics were just for the scab, which it’s still there. No matter how hard I try to wash with my fingertips. Put aloe Vera or olive oil to soften it (was advised by clinic) It’s making me think it’s not actually a scab and possibly a wound? Hoping it will just fall off or heal.... eventually.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 22, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2020 It looks like you had a bleeder that oozed out over a few other grafts and thus the scab lasted longer since the blood had to dry out first.
