Ok, please dont be angry with me for asking this question.....but this is very important to me...

I have an infection in my arm which has recently been stitched and stapled. I was told to have them both removed in 7 to 10 days....so thats either friday, mon or tues I think

The wound is smelling really badly..i was given antibiotics by the hospital, but my rules say that i cant take them...that again isnt the problem.

The problem is, if I go to the gps to have the dressing changed as its beginning to fall apart with the bandage and whatnot...i would probably see a nurse....If she changes the dressing for me do i have the right to refuse to have the wound and area cleaned...or would they refuse to change my dressing?

I really cannot allow for the area to be cleaned...but need new dressings. I would buy them and do them myself but boots dont sell them large enough and its never easy to bandage your arm by yourself. thank you
