I hope you're feeling better soon! As long as you aren't too rough, you can wash around the incision. Just use a soft cloth with water that isn't too hot, and a mild soap. Then dry it gently with a soft towel but don't rub on it. You should be fine.

Try gentle babywipes for now. Get well soon.

get well soon.try clean damp cloth.

been there..done that.. just use the baby wipes for now and dont get the incision wet....and dont scrub..just a gentle wipe.. happy recovery....

Babywipes in that area for now - good quality ones - take care get better soon

well i suggest if you are allowed to have a bath use a salt bath by adding salt and soak there for a while add no soap or bubblebath but if you are not allowed bath such has a salt one use dettol and bathe the wound with that
