Is it OK to use hydrogen peroxide on a rhinoplasty scar?

September 24, 2020
Asked By:sunnyfebruary13 in Nevada

I asked the doctor if I should clean it with soap and water and he was like yeah, but the incision has some scab- like skin around it and the stitches are dissolving really slowly. I’ve heard doctors say to use peroxide, but I’ve also heard that can slow healing.
