Advice!

Any advice for the incisions?

I have 6 all of them have staples and 1 is really big and doctor said to shower and take off all the bandages and not to put them back on now I feel like everything is so unprotected.

    You can wear a tank top under your other clothing in case the incisions weep a little and to protect them from rubbing on your clothing.

    I have 6 too but they're glued - never had bandages. Without the bandages they'll be able to dry out and heal faster. My biggest incision is 4 inches.
