Shower with stitches?

Can I shower with stitches in my left index finger?

  • I've had 9 stitches in for 6 days and was wondering if it's safe to shower with it as long as I dry them off immediately after.

  • Answer:

    I don't think you should get them wet. How about taping a plastic bag around your hand?

After 6 days it really shouldn't matter, everything on the outside should be healed enough not to let anything go by. To be on the safe side you can tape some plastic around your finger to keep it dry and then you won't have to worry about it at all.

you need to put a water proof bandage over them, although you should still dab them with a towel and then dry them thoroughly to make sure the wound does not become infected.
