Is it bad to recover your incision with a bandage or gauze to reduce swelling and friction

While the bandage will help swelling, you're really just pushing it off to happen later when you do take it off. I read your other posts, and think at this stage in healing you need to leave it unwrapped and let it do its swelling and healing, as unpleasant as it is. I took my wrap off at day 7 and it swole badly for a week or two, and now it's gone down a good bit.
