Stitches and its care

2016-03-18 11:03:38
Hi. I got a few stitches above my eyebrow two days ago. It has been covered with bandage ever since. Should I keep it open or covered? Shall I change the dressing periodically? I am on complete bed rest at home for next week too till the stitches come off.
