Can you get your hand and wet when you take off your cast?

Answer 1

If your cast is OFF then you can get your hand wet. But while you have the cast ON, you absolutely do NOT want to get it wet, once the cast and soft material that is under the cast is off, you can get it wet, the only reason why you cant get your hand wet when you have the cast on is because the water will get stuck and since you have the cast on all the time your hand gets warm, therefore, warmth + water= bacteria, and lots of it. Anyways once you get your cast off you are allowed to get your hand wet. But if you still have cast on, dont get it wet!
