hi love,what has your provider told you? ,,i cant wait to get rid of my last dressing , 6 weeks out and still got a dressing and packing on my main wound due to a bad infection,,,,my other 5 wounds are almost invisable now , tiny lil cross marks , i thought theyd be bigger ,so got a nice surprize when the stitches were removed on 10th day post op,i was told to keep mine covered til stitches come out,,,,,,,im sure others have had different advice , but good luck either way and hope your soon feeling 100% again x
