Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and am here to help. It would help if I could look at the wound, if you do not mind, please attach an image of the wound to our discussion.

But if you do not wish to, it is fine. Generally speaking, 2 weeks should more than suffice to be able to take an epsom salt bath. If your would is anywhere more than 80 % healed/closed, it should be fine for you to go ahead with the epsom salt bath. But if at all, your wound hurts during the bath, then dry yourself off and try after 2-3 days.

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
