How long do I leave the tape over my stitches?

rrrasj
I had two hernia repairs this week and had three incisions and want to know how long I leave the tape on over my stitches. The stitches were done under my skin and don't know how long they need to be on because they are getting rough around the edges and don't have much longer.
