quick question

[jonjon]

About the arm and keeping it bandaged.

When I'm at work (I work indoors in an office environment) do I still need to keep the bandage on? And do I have to worry about bandaging it when I go outside if I'm wearing sleeves?

As far as I'm aware I'm only bandaging it when I go out to protect the new skin from UV, so is there any other reason why it needs to be bandaged?

I'm asking because I'm getting somewhat fed up of the bandage tbh esp when I'm at work for 9hrs :/

I've been told it's because scars heal better with pressure. All I wear is tubi grip pretty much all the time. Makes sense if u think about burns - they wear those pressure garments... But the u are correct in saying we need to protect the scar from UV as well for around the first year I think I was told.

I saw a whole bunch of guys who had had phallo, they all had compression forearm sleeves. It is supposed to improve the healing. I didn't know this and thought it was a new style of some sort, I mean what do I know.
All the guys who wore those had good healing, or so it appeared. I imagine it would be more comfortable that wearing bandages or ace, as it is smooth. They also have them in tattoo or camo. Tubigrip is the same idea, I just looked it up.
