Washing hand in cast
Question
I have a burn on my hand, and the doctor bandaged up a part of it. What should I do when I wash my hands?
Answer
Dear …!
You should wash your hand up to the place that’s covered with the bandages; you don’t need to wash the part that is under the bandages. If you cannot wash your hand at all, such as in case that you need to be very careful not to wet the burn, you should cover your hand with a glove or a napkin while eating bread.
