compression bandage got wet

I am having compression bandage treatment for a leg ulcer. Just had a bath with the cover on my leg but it must have leaked, not sure wether to take off the bandage or not. I can ring the district nurse tomorrow but don't know if it would do any harm leaving it on. Any doctors or nurses about?

Can you link us to the type of bandage it is?

I'm recovering from major surgery and have different instructions for different dressings and compression vest.

I have to medical tape across my scars so they heal, and after a shower I have to use a blow dryer on it.

Definitely check with the nurse in the mornings but hopefully you're fine.
