Can I use liquid bandage over stitches on my face after Mohs Surgery? (photo)

RD0616
I had Mohs Surgery 2 days ago on my upper lip area. I received stitches & I was told to keep the area moist with Vaseline & covered to prevent scarring & help the healing process. The problem is that I can't get traditional bandages or gauze to stick. Can I use liquid bandage over the stitches & Vaseline? I would really appreciate the advice. Thank you so much!
