Showering with an open wound/abcess?

Orrible

I had a cyst which popped and is now like a big hole in my side, its about 1cm diameter and inside is like horrible creepy fleshy bits that look gross and scary. Puss still comes out of it and a bit of blood, I am taking anti biotics for it but until it goes I was worried about showering.

I have been showering around it as much as possible but today I accidently got water and then soapy water all over it. What will happen?

Is it okay to get water in it? After my shower I put germoline (anticeptic anaesthetic cream) and a fresh dressing but it seems a bit sorer today than it was yesterday.
