A member asked:

I accidently used 1% cortisone aquaphor ointment on my stitches?. will it hurt anything? i think it is worse to try to wash it off since they are new stitches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely will not damage anything. But you can rinse it off in warm water, then pat it dry.
