A member asked:

When you can go to the gym after the stitches are removed from the wound? from the face

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ok to go: Stitches are only removed when the wound has healed adequately that there is little risk for reopening. The face is a relatively low stress area of skin and you should be fine to workout if the wound looks closed. If you're engaging in aerobic activity within a week of stitch removal, i recommend wearing an absorbent bandage to absorb sweat away from the scar and use plain lotion after shower.
