Can I clean my stitches with anything? I still notice some dried blood when I change the gauze. I'm a bit OCD and just want to make sure everything heals nicely and clean.

Answer: Blood on suture line It is always best to ask your surgeon but in general, I suggest to patients to use a mix of peroxide and water to lightly clean areas of crust under certain conditions.

Answer: Twice a day I recommend gently washing the incision line with plain Dove soap twice a day then dry the incision and apply a very thin layer of antibiotic ointment before you replace the dressing.
