Here is where the scarring comes in (and yes I have had clients with this problem) the topknot is left in too long and too tight so it causes irritation and a scab COULD form.

That's awful !!
May I ask , is a topknot different than a little ponytail on top the head ? I am guessing the topknot is slightly different in the way it is tied or something?
