I am going to remove the 3 remaing stitches of 5 from between my chin and lower lip, the other 2 fell out during cleaning, the wound looks great, no sign of infection, I feel good about doing it myself, but need to know the follow up for cleaning the wond once they are removed. Thank you, Tina
Hello to Chat Doctor, You should be very careful ! This area is very sensitive and dangerous. There are some steps to follow... In my opinion this is not a procedure to be done at home... You should treat the wound from the inside out with 3 layers-first with Iodine-benzyne around the wound, second-ethyl alcohol and 3-Iodine tincture. I repeat- this procedure should not be done at home...
