Wound Care and Hygiene

• Keep the stitched area clean and dry. Use mild soap and water to gently clean around the stitches.
• Continue using Ciplox, Metrogyl, Zinase-D, and Soframycin cream as prescribed.

Managing Discomfort

• The sensation of a "push" may be due to swelling or healing tissue. Monitor for increased pain or redness.
• Seek medical attention if discomfort worsens or if you notice signs of infection.

Scar Prevention Strategies

• Avoid sun exposure; use sunscreen once the wound heals.
• Consider silicone gels or sheets post-suture removal to minimize scarring.

Follow-up and Monitoring

• Attend follow-up visits for suture removal and wound assessment.
• Watch for signs of infection like increased redness, swelling, or pus.

Lifestyle and Nutritional Tips

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins C and E to support healing.

When to Consult a Specialist

• Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for scar management if needed.
