Because it takes some time for the wound to be repaired after surgical suture removal, if you take a bath before the wound is completely healed, it may cause wound infection and even suppuration, so it is recommended to take a bath about 5 days after surgical suture removal.
How long does it take to go to gauze after stitches are removed? It usually takes about 4 days to get rid of gauze.
Because after the surgical suture removal, in order to ensure that the wound is not infected by bacteria, and to protect the wound from external stimulation and cause secondary trauma, gauze is needed for nursing before the wound is fully recovered. Generally, the wound can basically heal in about 4 days after surgical suture removal. At this time, you don't have to worry about the wound being infected or stimulated, and you can take out the gauze.
3 How to nurse the wound that has just taken out stitches 1, and sterilize it regularly. For the wound just taken out, it should be disinfected regularly with iodophor or normal saline to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation.
2. Apply ointment. You can apply some aloe vera gel or anti-inflammatory drugs when the wound recovers to promote wound healing.
3. avoid getting wet. If the wound is accidentally wetted by water, it is easy to create a suitable growth environment for bacteria in the air, and then cause wound infection and inflammation.
4. Supplement nutrition. In the recovery period of wound, proper nutrition supplement can promote the growth and reproduction of cells, thus accelerating the healing of wound.
5, pay attention to wearing. Wear loose and breathable clothes. If the clothes are too tight or the air permeability is not enough, it will easily cause friction to the wound, or affect the cell growth of the wound skin, thus delaying the repair of the wound.
4 Tips Under normal circumstances, after the stitches are removed, the wound may leave some scars. At this time, you can apply some scar cream on the skin surface, and don't stimulate the scar. If the scar does not proliferate, plus your own physical conditions, the scar will gradually fade over time.
