Is it safe for me to get into a hot tub after having a skin graft?

Is it safe for me to get into a hot tub after having a skin graft?

I was in a serious accident on 9/5/10 and had a skin graft on my leg in October of 2010. After approximately 7 months, do you see any potential problem with getting into a hot tub now?

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

You are going to have to ask your doctors about this.  Skin from a skin graft can be very sensitive and sometimes fragile.  I would definitely consult your doctor prior to going into a hot tub to be sure it is OK.  Good luck.
