I usually begin the healing process with Steri-Strip tapes on your incision. After about a week to 10 days as these tapes roll off, gauze would be more appropriate especially for areas that might have slight opening. If the entire wound remains dry just clean cotton underwear can cover the incision. if there is any opening or weeping then I would use a slight film of bacitracin or clear anti biotic ointment and some gauze. showering is always fine
