Asked By:sundayhd in Ashdod, IL

I used hydrogen peroxide 1 time after 4 days from my surgery and then I read this: "Absorbable Stitches, Hydrogen Peroxide a Bad Mix" http://www.drugs.com/news/absorbable-stitches-hydrogen-peroxide-bad-mix-8900.html Should I be worry? Did I damaged my stitches or my final nose results? Please let me know, Thanks.
