Question: How long do you need to keep a bandaid on after getting a shot?

Ok, so I got 2 shots in my neck today at the dermatologist, and I have 2 bandages on my neck right now. I got the shots around 4:30 this afternoon. I HAVE to wear my hair up tomorrow for track practice, and I really don't want to have 2 bandaids on the side of my neck. So would it be okay if I removed them tomorrow?

Answers:

most of the time especially with bandages by the time you get home your natural body defensive have already kicked in.. the bandage is only given to help stop the bleeding some and it seals shot a direct port for infection to inter your body

Put some neosporne on that ant that will heal with in 8 to 10 hours. but if you leave it the way it is it will depend on how fast your body naturally heals.

You can remove them any time.

you probably don't

Just take it off, your not gna bleed forever.

5 hours I would say!
