I had stitches in my forehead last friday, and the stitches were removed on wednesday. Since then I have developed a very red, crusty, itchy rash all around the area that I had the stitches. I am a little concerned that it may be staph. I live with my father who is a heart patient and who also is healing from a fall, he still has open wounds and do not want to expose him to staph if that is indeed what it is.
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having some infection on the site. You may require one course of antibiotic to control infection. Clean the area with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream. Ok and take care.
