Depends: Depends when you had your surgery. If the wound is closed, but you still have stables or sutures, you can take a shower, but don't scratch or rub the wound area or incisions. After shower gently clean the incision area, you may use sterile water or bethadine. If the wound is open , you have to be more careful.
