After ear stitches, it usually takes 5-7 days to remove the stitches because the local skin of the ear is loose and soft, blood flow is richer, there are no active joints, and the tension of the local skin is not much. However, if there is redness and oozing from the sutures at the ear incision, which represents local infection, the stitch removal time needs to be extended from 12 days to 2 weeks to prevent the wound from not healing or scar formation after the stitch removal, etc. Therefore, you need to pay attention before the stitch removal to see if there are signs of infection and oozing at the incision. After the removal of the ear sutures, it is necessary to keep the area clean and to avoid secondary infections by not getting wet until 1 week after the removal of the sutures. In the case of joint areas, such as knee joints, elbow joints, lower back and legs, where there is more frequent activity and easy friction, the stitch removal time is usually 2 weeks.
