Stitches - how do you take care of your wound after the stitches are taken off?

how do you take care of your wound after the stitches are taken off?

ok i just toke the stitches off of my pinky today. do i just wash it with soap and water like before? the doctor did not tell me anything -_-

I'd use an anti-bacterial soap. Also, soaking in a warm saltwater solution is VERY beneficial for healing. Once, I cut the "web" between thumb and forefinger pretty badly. When the stitches came out, the wound gaped wide open --- there wasn't enough blood supply to the area to coagulate into a scab and heal. My mom kept telling me to soak it in warm saltwater, and FINALLY I listened to her. In just a few days, a NEW "web" grew. Huh! Thanks Mom...... You can put vitamin e oil on the scar itself to help it fade away. Just be careful about reopening the wound, and you'll be fine.
I'd just use warm water (can be salt water) but avoid using soap which has chemicals not good for wounds. If you want to reduce scars, using a very mild moisturiser on the tissue will help skin regenerate.
