Good day doctor. last sunday my son got injured, they had to give him stitches. we took out the stitches over the weekend. the wound pulled open, and now its very red around the wound. should i take him back or is it normal?

Red around: This needs to be seen by a doctor. It very well may be infected. Sometimes people use triple ointment antibiotic cream on a wound and develop a skin allergy to the cream which seems like an infection
