It is recommended to take a bath only after 48 hours after the stitches are removed, and the wound should not be touched with water immediately after the stitches are removed. If you accidentally wet the water, some bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms inside the water will easily invade the subcutaneous soft tissues through the location of the stitches, thus breeding and reproducing inside, and eventually producing toxins, which will cause local wound infection and cause redness, swelling, heat, pain, and even pus flow. Therefore, it is generally recommended that after 48 hours, the thread hole is basically closed, and it is relatively safe to take a bath in this case.
