Hey, glad you finally have some answers.

My nurse told me to just take off the dressing and leave the wound to heal as long as i clean it. However every hospital is different so ring them to find out. Also I think you can have baths about 2-4 weeks after xx

They told me to keep mine on for five to seven days then to check them one of mine wasn’t quite healed and had to have it recovered for a few more days but as others have said every hospital is different xx

They gave me a leaflet with information on which was really helpful. They told me to keep the bandages on for 5-7 days, then once they were off, I could shower. It was sink washes until they were off because you shouldn't get them wet, as it risks an infection.

Definitely ring up to check though because everyone has been told differently, so there must be no correct answer x
