Try to keep your stitches (sutures) dry for at least 48 hours after surgery. Your healthcare professional will tell you when you can get your stitches wet or if they need to be kept dry. This may depend on what kind of wound and dressing you have.
Here are some guidelines for when sutures stitches should be removed: Face: 4-5 days; Neck:7 days; Arms and back of hands: 7 days; Scalp, chest, abdomen or back: 7- 10 days; Legs and top of feet: 10 days; Palms, soles, fingers or toes: 12-14 days; Overlying a joint:12-14 days; Suture Removal Delays: Don't miss your appointment for removing sutures. Leaving sutures in too long can leave skin marks. Sometimes, it can cause scarring. It also makes taking the sutures out harder. Suture Out Early: If the sutures come out early, close the wound with tape.
