Asked By:Lucia76 in Boston, MA

I just want to know when you suggest removing gauze/hydrogel dressing? I was doing it everyday, but my husband thinks I should keep it a little longer & just add a dry gauze on top. He does know a bit about wound care, but I want other opinions. My doc says everyday day to every other day.
