I was wondering if after having a FOX procedure if you pick off the scabs from the donor area will this cause more significant scarring. I took off a scab 4 days from my procedure and it looks like it left a dimpled hole. I wonder if this will heal?
It is never a good idea to pick at a wound, as it creates the opportunity for infection. If you have eschar/crusts at the donor site from the FUE procedure (which is usually the case) you can wash them off with a good shampoo and a surgical brush. I don’t know what the dimpled hole is without seeing it, but hopefully it healed up for you.
