Asked By:Diamond10 in South Africa, ZA

A week ago I did my nose and before I travelled back home, my Dr placed s small sticker on after removing the bandages that Ihad on ftofrom the surgery time. Now am back in Africa and I want to wash my face butI don't know if the 2stiches I see on the nose sides are on top or deep. Is it ok to just ignore them and just clean my face as usuall?
