    Hey sweetie I would buy a pack from boots and peel them off with clean hands then use antiseptic liquid on a cottonwood pad and then clean up If they are not healed replaced the new strips on x

    My nurse told me to take mine off after my first shower as they will be easier to get off when wet. She gave me extra ones to put on if I felt I needed to afterwards but said they were already closed up nicely. Don’t worry too much babe just use a mirror and go slow xxx
