Cover You Incision/drain Hole?

So my post op instruction were to wash my incision with soap and water and cover if oozing or moist. WTH? I have 3 incision (one a drain hole). Two of my incisions were sutured shut. My drain hole was left open to heal from the inside out. I feel kind of weird not covering it with a bandaid or gauze yet the other two incisions actually started healing better once I took off the bandaids. Anybody have this problem or am I the only one skeeved out by my drain hole?

I was told I could put a bandaid on mine for the oozing. The hole weirds me out too!

No drain here, but I think I'd be weirded out by an open hole too.

The only hole I had covered is my drain hole. I just have a loose band aid on it now in case my clothes rubs on it and it oozes. I don't want it to stick.

Yay! I didn't cover my drain hole today. It looks like a small puncture hole and is healing from the inside out.
