Hi, I have a cyst or boil of some sort on my side on a stretch mark. It s little but has already been popped only a bit. It s still very red and sore and probably still has puss in it. But my question is, would it be okay if I go swimming tomorrow with a waterproof band aid of some sort or could I go without one? Or can I even GO swimming? Please answer ASAP!!!
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor If you are going swimming in the sea then you leave it open because the salt water would have a cleansing and healing effect. Because it is a wide open space, it would affect any other swimmers. If you're going to swim in a pool, it would be best to cover it to prevent contamination of water for other persons. I hope this helps
