Dry dressing: The wound will pretty much have come together within 48 hours, so after 5 days, having the dermabond fall off is of no concern. Put a clean dry dressing on top so it does not get irritated by your shirt or belt. Even if a small amount of fluid appears on the dressing, it should be okay. Call you surgeon if the incision gets red or drains cloudy yellowish or greenish drainage.
