Describe Your Cast Smell 👃 #shorts

Do you remember how your cast smelled by removal time?
.
How to stop a cast from smelling bad?
- Make every possible attempt to keep the cast dry. If participating in more vigorous activity, consider placing an absorbent arm band or cloth at the cast openings. If your cast does get wet, dry it off right away. You may consider carefully using a hair dryer (on cool setting) or a fan to speed the drying.
- Rub a scented dryer sheet on the outside of the cast (Do not push it underneath the cast)
- Sprinkle on baking soda or moisture-absorbing powder (small amount) to safely absorb moisture and odors on the cast and around the openings.
- In extreme cases, request a new cast

Mine smelled like sweat. I was 5 when i broke one wrist. I fractured the other one last February. It didn't really smell like anything.

[BountyGames]

My cast was on for 2 months and it didn’t smell and my exos wrist splint was on for 1 week and it stinks

[TszYinTse]

Your hand smells very stinky before you remove it but lots of dead skin is on your hand and you have to scrub it off gently... 😅Hope it helps😊

[almondbread]

It's a strange combination of sweat and something
It smells kinda nice but not for long

Sidenote, I had a waterproof cast that I could actually wash lol

My fingers smelled like toe jam, so I washed them frequently.
