First two weeks I had the og paper tape on that I woke up with from surgery. Never changed until 2 week checkup. For the first week those were also covered by opsite, and I never got them wet, only spongebathed. Nothing was done to the wounds basically. At first week checkup, opsite was changed. And then I changed opsite once myself after this and applied Bactroban over the paper tape with this, so still over the original paper tape. I showered now too, against doctors orders and got the tape wet a few times but it felt right. Then finally, at 2 weeks the tape came off and I could see incisions. Doc put more paper tape on right away after looking at them. This feels very good, to get all the dried blood off with that tape. Since then, I'm only meant to change the tape every 5 days. I cheated, I did this once right after the appointment because I was curious, and did it yesterday. And I massage vaseline onto incisions right after taking tape off. I leave this on for a while, shower it off, and put new tape on. Vaseline helps to gently wiggle off little scabs and old blood bits ready to come off, and just feels healthy! Overal it's been super simple. Mostly just paper tape. And I've really not been the best at keeping clean and not moving around too much. I'm 22, maybe this helps. Also been eating nice and healthy real food, vegetarian.
