It really all depends on the type of injury. If it is open, sutured up, or what the circumstances are. You should not remove a bandage until the wound has began it's healing process or scabs over. I do not advise that you remove the bandage at all without the approval of a doctor if you have a serious lesion or laceration.

Until the blood has coagulated. You could probably change it after 24 hours, and if you want to keep it covered until its healed, change it and clean the wound daily for the next week or so. Remember that to heal properly, wounds need to 'breath' and it doesn't hurt to let them see day light every so often.

Hope this helps :D
