Stitched wound- anything to help heal?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just broke the skin on the calf of my right leg, which required a

few stitches. But, this wasn't with a knife or sharp object- it was

with the blunt, metal kickstart of my dirtbike, while I was wearing

long pants... My leg is sore and I could see my muscle before the

stitches. Is there anything specifically I can do to ease the

discomfort and reinforce the healing process that anyone has had

success with?

Thanks
