A question about band aids.?!


Question: A question about band aids..?
why does your finger turn white when you wear a band aid for a long time.?


I had cut my finger 2 days ago and I didn't take the band aid off until today. Why did it make my finger all wrinkley and white.?


Is it bad to have a band aid on for long.?


P.S. if you have nothing nice to say please don't waste precious time saying it. Thanks.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It's white and wrinkly because the band-aid traps moisture and your skin absorbs it. It's like when you take a bath and your fingers get pruney. Same principle. It has nothing to do with circulation.
It's not bad to have a band-aid on for a long time unless you get the band-aid wet or dirty. If your band-aid is wet or dirty you need to put on a clean, dry one.Health Question & Answer
