Staples

I took some of my dressing off to look at my incisions to see if they're healing and to my surprise I have my incisions staple shut. I wasn't told or given any proper cleaning instructions and the nurse told me I could take off my dressings today and shower but idk if I should wait to get the staples out? if any of you have had staples and how did you care for them?

    I had staples - showering as normal and than drying out before applying dressings again. I was told I could go with the stapels bare but it was to much for me. Liked to have them covered :-)
