No.  Don't wash yourself during LL.

Thanks. But not doing so, how often did the nurse change your pin bandages and put desinfectant? Twice a week?
 I'm asking because I may be alone with no nurse and will have to learn to change bandages and clean pin sites myself.

They didn't bandage the pinsites at Guang Ji Hospital.  We were supposed clean the pinsites ourselves daily, but many of us came to the conclusion that leaving them alone and protected by scabs was better.

Thanks. It has some logic, if natural scabs form in every pin incision, maybe it's the most protective (and easiest) solution.
