Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Washing and drying the cast when soiling occurs is not recommended as it can lead to underlying skin irritation and infection. Instead, use a damp cloth to clean the area around the cast, and if necessary, consult with the healthcare provider before any further cleaning of the cast. A better alternative for cleaning the cast would be to use a hairdryer on a cool setting.
