What is the best way to clean a wound with non-dissolving stitches?

Wound care: Gently wash the area with mild soap & warm water; rinse; pat dry; apply clean dressing if one was present (ideally, antibiotic ointment, non-stick dressing, topper gauze/tube gauze if available & appropriate to the wound site). Watch for signs of infection: heat, redness, increased pain, pus, separation of wound edges.

Warm soap and water: Use some warm soap and water around the stitches and make sure you pat the area dry. Leave it open to air for about 5 minutes and cover with a dry clean dressing.
