Hello, I am 6 weeks post op for forearm reconstruction and thankfully my arm is healing nicely. At home I put lotion on and expose my arm to the air. I do not want to expose arm to the sun for awhile and since it is still healing it is best to be covered up in public. Are there any wraps/dressing people recommend? Is an ACE bandage good? How long did you cover up your arm in public?
Thanks for your input, Meryl : )
