After the stitches are removed, it is still necessary to continue to wrap the gauze. Because after the stitches are removed, the thread holes are still connected to the soft tissue inside. If there is no gauze wrapping, bacteria outside or the wound accidentally stained with water and sewage will easily invade the soft tissue inside through the thread hole, thus bringing bacteria in, which will easily lead to infection of the wound. Therefore, it is recommended to continue to wrap with sterile gauze after the removal of the stitches, and it is generally recommended to wrap for about 48 hours, because 48 hours the line holes can basically heal on their own, and at this time after the removal of gauze, you can dip in water. In addition, if the wound is not a neat surgical incision, but accompanied by epidermal abrasions, after the removal of the stitches, the surface scab has not completely fallen off, there is wound ooze, but also continue to wrap gauze bandage until the wound is completely healed.
