    I had my strapping removed last friday and my left incision hadn’t quite healed yet so the nurse put another dressing on the left incision and said leave it on for a week then remove it and it should have sealed up by the. I am just wondering when I remove the dressing do I need to wipe it over with an antiseptic wipe?
    Also when I have removed it can I shower as normal apart from getting anything in my incisions. I have read girls still washing hair over the shower to make sure shampoo doesn’t get in the incisions… I just want to shower normally again!!

    Hey sweetie yes I would use a anti wipe and dry it off with cotton wool and replace dressing as on the washing hair front in the shower you normally put head back in to the water so really the shampoo will just run off down back xx
