Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted August 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 28, 2008 Have you been dilligent in cleansing/maintaining the area (per your doctor's instructions)? I'd snap a couple clear shots if it's convenient for you and post 'em here. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Senior Member badger_01 Posted August 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 28, 2008 The last of my crusts fell off at around the 3 week mark. I had alot of crusting and part of the problem was that i was too afraid to massage the grafts early on. If you follow your docs instructions they'll all come off soon. I also tried soaking my head in a warm bath (fill your tub with water and lie in it) for about 20 min before my shower. That really helped to soften up the crusts. - badger 3279 grafts with Dr Gabel - 06/12/08 My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Gabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 king-hair, 3 weeks for scabs to remain is not too uncommon. Some physician's instructions even instruct not to start working off the scabs for the first month. I have also seen some patients (including myself after my first surgery) be a little extra cautious which prevents scabs from flaking off as fast as those who are more diligent in working them off. I found that showering twice a day and spending an extra 10 minutes in the shower gently massaging the scabbed areas works nicely. Use your fingertips (not the nails) gently but consistently in a circular motion and this should help quite nicely. I hope this helps.

Senior Member Smoothy Posted August 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 28, 2008 If you had a lot of bleeding then you might have more crust than others with less bleeding. Just keeping soaking in tub and slighly shampoo the area at least 3x a day. They will eventually come off-- DO NOT FORCE then off by any means.
