What Causes White Crusts Above Some Grafts After Beard Transplant?
Hi! 1) I was on a beard transplant FUE 2.200 grafts 8 days ago. I haven t seen any graft loss for now, but my surger said to start minoxidil 5% after 10 days. Do you think i can prevent or at least minimize a possible shock loss? Doctor said that better perfusion of this area can lead to sooner results. 2) Also, i have still some scabs that most of them are ready to fall. Last days because of frequent washing i have observed somewhat like white crusts above some grafts. It looks like the soap that can t go away but i can t say. Thanks for your time!

for better results of FUE topical minoxidil is applied,,,it is usaully started after 7-14 days...so you can start it...crust could be due to the soap or dirt or due to oozing through the graft...nothing to panic just do proper cleaning of the area and go with the instructions given by your doctor...ful effect of transplant will be seen in months
