A member asked:
Should i leave my 3 year olds stitches covered or not? its on his chin and has been in since 17 january.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to do: Most kids that age have a hard time with it covered & there is mixed opinions on covering. If it is open you can monitor it more often from a distance. A thin covering of antibiotic ointment acts as a barrier to dirt. I tend to leave them open.
