【Skin Care】I have a wound—can I take a shower, go swimming, or soak in a hot spring?

Water activities are fun for everyone, especially younger people. However, having an open wound can make these activities risky. If not properly protected, water exposure may cause pain, delay healing, or even lead to severe infection. This concern also applies to showering and soaking in hot springs.

Whether you can get the wound wet depends on the TYPE and DEPTH of the injury.

For small and superficial wounds, you may use waterproof dressings such as 3M Nexcare®, Mentholatum Hibi Pro, or Hannox Liquid Bandage, which can offer short-term protection during brief water exposure.

However, for larger, deeper, or actively exudating wounds, you should not decide on your own. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional, who can recommend the appropriate waterproof dressing and care method to avoid complications and ensure proper healing.
