Dressing Came off today(day 3)

[OnenAaron]

Hello. I Got circumcised 3 days ago. I took off the bandage today but am worried how I will spend the night. Is it advisable to bandage it again for the night after some cleaning and tomorrow I have to go to office. Any thoughts on how to go about it.....dress code, sitting posture etc

Yes, I think is advisable to cover the wound until there is no drainage anymore. Petroleum jelly or 'Jelonet' paraffin gauze, roller bandage and surgical tape like 'Micropore' are not your enemies right now.

Why to cover:

-Maintain moisture balance better

-Temperature on wound higher

-Support incision line

If your doctor ask you to keep a recent wound uncovered, ask him/her justify it, please.
