    When I had my one week check my nurse said my incision was still slightly open on one end and I got told to keep my strips on for 4 days then to peel them off slowly then I can have a proper shower, don’t wash the wounds but let the soapy water run down onto them to clean them. Then with a clean towel pat the incisions dry 🙂 hope this helps 🙂 xx

    Thanks so much hun
    I am going to be terrified for the first time :s I dont have a shower, do you think it would be okay to use a sponge in a shallow bath
