Post skin tag removal - Query

Hi Doctor, This is a clarification post skin tag removal for a 10 day old baby. The paediatric surgeon doctor removed a skin tag on face yesterday and there is a stitch. After the procedure, the hospital nurse told us to come back tomorrow for bandage removal/dressing and to come back next week to remove the stitch. The doctor is a visiting consultant, hence we called the doctor to reconfirm this. The doctor told me to come directly next week ( that is 8 days after the procedure) to remove both the stitch and bandage together. We couldn't clarify this with the doctor much. Not able to connect with the doctor again. Need advice if it's okay to keep the bandage on for a week ( without any cleaning). The hospital provided mupirocin, should we wait till stitch removal next week to apply the same. Please help to advice if it's okay to keep the bandage for a week until the stitch removal and also please help to let us know how to take care of the area until the same. Thanks.
