hey kerry,
the nurse didnt put another dressing on my scars. so she said im fine to have showers now as long as i pat them dry with a clean towel every time. she also said im not allowed to put bio oil on my scars until i reach the 6 week mark or massage.
erm she didnt say anything about baths though. but ive read on other forums that women have been advised not too have long soaks in the bath until about 6 weeks as the scars are still soft and they wont heal properly. shallow baths are fine though!
im sure my scars are the full 5cm lol. they dont look very pretty! i suppose i was just shocked as ive never had an op before and didnt expect scars like this! they bled a little once i put my bra back on! but theyre healing fine! it felt really weird having the dressings off! weird sensation!
how are yours doing?
