slickster,
At ten days post-op your grafts are fine and actually the moistness is a good thing at this point. Many doctors recommend that the crusts and scabbing be removed anywhere from 7-10 days post-op, depending on the rate of healing.
Obviously some patients heal a bit slower, some faster. But the grafts themselves are well seated in the dermis layer of your scalp. The crusts/scabs are located on the outer scalp layer so again, nothing to worry about. You may have been provided post-op care instructions with your paperwork?
In another week, your scalp should look pretty normal.
Happy regrowth to you...

IAHRS Recommended Hair Transplant Surgeon
I generally instruct my patients who have scabs that are not falling off after 7-10 days to rub Vitamin E or baby oil generously on the grafts. Let is soak in for 10 minutes and then shower and shampoo the scalp which makes most of the scabs slide off. However, I agree that at 10 days post-op it would be unlikely that you did any harm to the grafts.
