Accidentally wet my dressings

Does anybody know if this is really bad? I washed my hair tonight and accidentally got my dressings quite wet. I’m worried as I was advised to keep them dry 🙁 I’m so annoyed with myself. I’m 5 days PO. I’m not sure whether to ring them tomorrow or just wait until my PO check on Thursday xxx

How wet are they? Wetting them can cause infections or something called a seroma so if they are very wet I would suggest taking them off and getting a new waterproof dressing on asap. Give the clinic a call but this early on it’s imperative they stay dry x

More just a bit damp from the spray of the shower. I think I’m going to go to my local doctors in the morning & see if they can change my dressings for me just to be safe! Aww I’m so paranoid 🙁 xx
