Why do doctors recommend keeping the area dry after surgery/fractures? 💧
Doctors recommend keeping the area dry after surgery/fractures because:
📌 Moisture + a closed environment = the perfect breeding ground for bacteria
📌 Increased risk of inflammation, which can even affect healing
✅ A waterproof cover is essential for postoperative self-care, blocking moisture. Listening to your doctor is also a way to protect yourself!
