You should have been told how to care for your wound at hospital and given a wound care advice sheet, You should call your A&E and tell them that you where in lastnight and that you need advice on how you should care for your perticular wound. You should leave your dressings on until you see the nurse at your local practice.
You can just go back to A&E because as your wound was only last night, they will be able to give you more dressings if needed you can ask for some more as well and they should be able to give you a couple with no bother they will also be able to show you how to take care of your wound and how to dress your wound.
We the first aid team are able to give advice on how to care for your wound but you should go back to A&E first and see them as soon as you can
Take care
