It’s an old and widespread myth. I think many people continue to believe it because it’s uncomfortable when the skin/wound under a band-aid gets moist. I only learned that it is bullshit because my mom (a nurse) told me when I tried to do it as a kid.
Wonderful! I hoped that would happen. That was why I linked an article from a well known paper that explaines it in such a way that everybody (not just doctors, nurses, etc.) can read about it. I thought that would be better than asking you to trust a stranger on the web.
Not my first language btw. I don’t know what to call people that work with sick or hurt people.

I only learned because some person on Lemmy just told me 😬
