Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
MY MD is treating a staphwound on my elbo. It was running clear, and stopped running. He opened it up, packed it wraped it up said to come back in 2 days. I did, he unwrapped it, repacked it, and said to come back in 5 days.. This is day 2, and the bandage is dirty, should I have one of his peers to check it tomorrow, put on a clean bandage? or forget about it until tuesday?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would like to say you that if your are clearly instructed to be in follow up then you are not suppose to change the dressing, this could against the advise given by your physician and may prove something wrong, take care and have a nice day.
