Wound care post suture removal on finger
I had a glass cut wound on my finger and sutures were removed two days back ( photo attached). How should I care for the wound post suture removal. Should betadine solution or dettol be used for cleaning it. Should I cover it with bandage? When can I start using Mederma?
