Scabs still stubborn on Day 8 - is this a problem?

[DaveOHiggins]

Hi Guys,

 

On Day 8 of a 4500 graft FUT (see attached pic). 

Been washing twice a day and stand under the shower for 10 minutes each time with a gentle pressure from the shower head.

I then massge the shampoo quite robustly into the calp for a few minutes.

Still these scabs are hanging around.  Are they a danger to the grafts if they stay for much longer?

Thanks   🤞

Have you not had any post operation instructions? Usually day 10 you remove the scabs when the grafts are secure.

Thanks digi23, yes have been told to get more aggressive with the hair-washing massage but not actually to remove the scabs individually on Day 10

Yes should be ok, the thing is that it should not bleed when removing the scabs. Should just fall off easily.

Yes get more aggressive and they will be off before long !
