Sutures and dressings:
Your stitches will normally be dissolvable, and you will be informed if they need to be removed. The suture material can irritate the skin and sometimes poke out of the skin. They can be removed if they are uncomfortable. If a wound becomes infected you should contact the CNC, call the rooms, or see your GP.
Dressings are applied to all your wounds at the end of the operation. It is normal for them to have a small amount of blood visible. Remove the dressing on day 5 After the wound heals you can apply lotions or oils to the skin.
