Hi- -every parts of your body have particular time for suture removal. So should not remove the sutures before the particular due days. -after suture removal of wound is healed you can apply drez s ointment to prevent infection. If the wound is not healed properly and have some sloughes you need to apply the ointment with closed dressing until the wound healed.
