    Default Minor bleeding 5 weeks after HT

    Hey All,

    All in all I've had a strong recovery from the HT. I've followed all the post-op guidelines and generally, everything has healed ok.

    However, I have a had a few pimples in the recipient area that have burst and created small scabs.

    I was washing my hair today and one of these scabs came off. The scab had several hairs attached to it and when I had dried my hair there was a minor amount of surface bleeding under this scab (similar to when you squeeze a spot).

    This happened 5 weeks post HT. Have I damaged a graft here? Everything I read says bleeding is a bad sign, however, I have also read grafts are secure after 2 weeks.

    Any help would be awesome!
