After the wound has scabbed over, bathing is usually not allowed to prevent infection, and if bathing is necessary, care should be taken to protect the wound. Wound scabs are incompletely healed wounds. Bathing water may contain a certain amount of bacteria that can enter the wound through the scab shell and cause bacterial growth or fat liquefaction, which can lead to infection or suppuration of the incision. Therefore, bathing while the wound is scabbed may increase the risk of infection with serious consequences and is usually not recommended. It is usually necessary to wait until the scabbed area has completely fallen off and the wound edges and surrounding tissues have completely healed before bathing. If bathing is required during the scabbing period, care should be taken to protect the wound, e.g., by wrapping the wound area with plastic wrap to prevent contamination of the wound with bathing water. Once bath water is found to have entered the wound, disinfectant solution such as povidone-iodine should be used to disinfect the wound in a timely manner. For patients with scabbed wounds, they should pay attention to protecting the wounds on a daily basis and avoid touching the wounds with their hands or even picking the scabs with their hands, so as not to cause the wounds to rupture and affect the healing of the wounds.
