Stitches

I just got dissolvable stitches for cut on my hand and I was wondering about care instructions ?

I was wondering when I would be able to play soccer, and how long I need to leave the bandaid on.

1. What did your Physician tell you? It depends on where on your hand and how deep the injury was and how many stitches you had. Be sure to keep the area clean and dry for at least 7 days so infection will not start. I would call the Physician and ask the specific question as no one on this "answers" can be able to diagnose or suggest for you without knowing more specific information.
