A member asked:
When can you take band aid off of puncture wound after spinal tap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remove a bandaid: I would give it about 12 hours and then remove it - there should NOT be any fluid or blood leaking once you remove the bandaid. IF so - you need to call whoever did the tap. Puncture wounds made with needles heal rapidly
