Band aid at night?!


Question:

Band aid at night?

Is it better to leave a band aid on at night or off for cuts?


Answers:

It doesn't matter. My mother always told me to take them off at night to "let the air get to it." But that's not true. Band aids are made of breathable material.
It is actually shown that cuts heals faster if you use either an antibiotic ointment or first aid cream and put a band aid on it.
