Before you turn on the shower, check your wound-care instructions. 🚿
Not every dressing is waterproof—and instructions can differ depending on your wound, treatment and dressing.
Ask your care team:
* When is it safe for me to shower?
* Should my dressing stay on, come off or be protected?
* What should I do if it gets wet, loosens or leaks?
Don’t assume showering and soaking in a bath are interchangeable. Follow your provider’s specific instructions, and contact the care team if anything is unclear.
