Got nexplanon removed yesterday. they made two incisions, bandaged. i just had a bath and accidentally got my dressing wet, i dont have another dressing to put on it. what do i do?

If you have thoroughly dried the area, the risk of infection is very low. Dressings are available at any drug store, and I would recommend that you shower instead of bathe for the next few days, to allow for proper healing.
