Do you have to keep changing the stitches after they’re removed?

If the wound is healing well after suture removal, there is no need to change the dressing, if the wound is not healing well, then the dressing needs to be changed again. Changing the dressing is to keep the wound clean to avoid contamination which may lead to wound infection and inflammation and delay healing, if the wound is healing well when the stitches are removed, then changing the dressing after removing the stitches is not very necessary. Avoid strenuous activities around the wound after suture removal. If the wound is not healing well after the stitches are removed, or if there is a wound infection, then dressing changes are still necessary. Some wounds have to be thoroughly drained on the patient’s septic wounds, in which case the growth of the wound granulation tissue will be favored before another debridement suture can be given. And it should be noted that, in order to strengthen the dressing change at the same time, also need to give the patient anti-infection treatment. After the wound is removed, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for regular checkups.
