How often should i change a bandage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Twice a day: Usually twice a day to start off with and then leave the wound open to the air as a scab forms. This is for some wounds. If you are talking about a complex open wound best to consult with a physician who can evaluate the wound directly.
