Waterproof band aids?

Question

I have a staph infections-sp? below my abdomen. It's treated and the doctor got all the nasty stuff out about 2 weeks ago. I am going to a swimming party at a friends house this weekend and wanted to know how a waterproof band aid would do with it. What would you do in this situation?

Answer 1

Believe it or not but the pool water would be very helpful for this. The chlorine will not hurt it, as far as spreading it- won't happen---Unless this is a huge gaping open wound. There are some clear plastics tape (square) they are called a "tega-derm"- they are clear and water proof.

Have a good time.  

Answer 2

Answer 3

Not go! You can spread your infection.
