1 week in. scabs coming off and hairs coming with themfirst proper wash was the scariest part. they told me just let the water run over it and pat dry, no rubbing at all. did that for a few days and now the scabs are coming off on their own.thing is a few hairs come off with them. actual hairs sitting in my palm. i know everyone says the graft is under the skin and safe by now but seeing it is a different thing, my brain does not care what the internet says.pain is pretty much gone, thats the good news. the swelling came down into my forehead around day 3 and i looked like a boxer for two days, then it just went. now its the itching. driving me insane, worst at night.so did hairs come off with your scabs around day 7 and was it fine in the end. how long until the itching stopped for you. and when did you start wearing a hat again, ive got a wedding in 3 weeks and right now theres no way
