Often the physician who applied the sutures will provide you with after-care instructions; however, if you lost or forgot the after-care instructions, you can take care of your sutures by: - Keeping the area dry, especially for the first 24 hours - Keep the area clean, especially the wound - Let the healing process go through its steps - Monitor for infection - Use over-the-counter pain reliever if necessary - Look after the scar after the sutures come out with massage, moisturizing it, protecting it against the sun If you need sutures or need your sutures removed, contact our clinic today.
