A member asked:
Son had a thyroglossal duct cyst removed and still has stitches in. he accidentally got them very wet. is this a problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not...: Dry the area, keep it clean - as best you can with a 5 year old :) - and continue to monitor for signs of infection at the incision site. If you notice any increase in redness or discharge, contact the surgeon. The skin heals relatively quickly.
