Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Again, I am not crazy..I am not crazy...I am not crazy.. Note the first bullet Wound Care Prognosis Most wounds heal just fine if given proper care. * Overall, the infection rate is 6.5%. Redness around the wound, a red line extending toward the body from the wound, or yellowish drainage from the wound are signs of infection and require immediate re-evaluation by a doctor. * Keeping the sutures clean and avoiding the formation of a scab over them aid in a good cosmetic result. A dilute peroxide solution or plain water may be used. It is all right to wash a sutured wound after 48 hours, but it should not be soaked. * Antibiotics are not necessary in most cases.
