Here are a few tips from the experts. The healing period of the general wound (incision) is 10-14 days, because the temperature and humidity are high in summer, it is very suitable for bacterial breeding, and the wound after infection is not easy to control, so if the wound has not healed for more than 14 days, or there is redness, swelling, high skin temperature, pain, etc., we must pay attention to whether there is inflammation. The wound after suturing should be kept dry until the sutures are removed, and if the wound is open, the wound will be oothy after hemostasis.
