You have to apply until the episiotomy heals completely

Soframycin is usually applied until the episiotomy and tear site looks fully healed, with no redness, discharge or raw edges. For a small second degree tear this generally takes around 10 to 14 days, sometimes a bit longer depending on how the stitches settle.
Next Steps
Keep the area clean and dry, change pads often, and stop the cream once your gynaecologist confirms at your follow up visit that healing is complete.
Health Tips
See your gynaecologist sooner if the area gets more painful, swollen, foul smelling or starts oozing, since that can mean an infection needing different treatment.
