Bathing with a cast can be a challenge, but it is important to keep the skin under the cast clean and dry to prevent infection. There are a few different ways to bathe with a cast, depending on the type of cast and the person’s individual needs.
For a waterproof cast, the person can simply bathe as usual. However, it is important to avoid getting the cast wet, as this can damage the cast and lead to infection. For a non-waterproof cast, the person will need to use a waterproof cast cover or a plastic bag to keep the cast dry. The person can then bathe as usual, taking care not to get the cast cover or plastic bag wet.
