Silly question

Hi girls,

Just a quick one, i have put some tan on (covered scars) but want to go in the shower to wash it off, do i need to cover the scars again, im just over 6 weeks post op, unsure of what to do.

Not a silly question at all, I was told it by my ps it would be fine to have a shower and for incisions to get slightly wet as long you thoroughly dry the area after. I am 5 weeks po.

However if you are really worried you could clean the area with a baby wipe or pat clean with a cotton pad which is slightly wet.xx

Its not so much getting the scars wet as i have been able to shower from day 2 its the tan that runs down with the water im concerned about as im not sure if this would cause a reaction

hahaha, so read this wrong, I have read on other posts not this site girls have been for spray tans 4 weeks post op and there was no problems at all. As long as you have no broken skin should be fine. But if you are concerned cover the scars again. I have been using garnier sun kissed tanning lotion but worked around the scars. Sorry prob not much help, good luck. xx
