I recently had surgery about two days ago and I have to go somewhere on Monday and I want a haircut.I don't want the barber to cut the side where my stitches are but only the other three sides.Will my cut get infected?

Answer: It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.
