Ok, so i am 10 days out from surgery and curious how long I am supposed to keep incision sites covered to avoid infection etc. I looked this up but most replies defaulted to the steri strips. My steri strips (most) are still in place. What I want to know is how long you kept those covered with bandaids etc? I have one site ( closest to belly button on left side-not drain site) that has started oozing dark thick blood, no smell or itch so needs to stay covered I think...but the others are healing well. The drain is still not completely closed so not uncovering it either just yet but close.
Thanks for the help.
