Can i apply antiseptic spray to a stitched surgical wound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you want: There is no need in a clean uninfected wound , but if it is an infected wound then your doctor will tell you how to manage , simple antiseptic is not enough may need additional intervention like drainage, debridement and appropriate antibiotics etc. Speak to your doctor
