You can, by all means, wash your legs after the stitches have been removed. You can use oxum spray or betadine liquid and in fact, only normal water is enough. Oxum spray is a super-oxidized solution for local application. It is intended for use in the debridement and irrigation of acute and chronic wounds, ulcers, cuts, abrasions, and burns. Oxum spray shows a reduction in inflammation and early healing of the wounds.

You can apply steri strips on the wound to cover up the scar and enhance healing. There is hardly anything to heal after stitches are removed, for your information/knowledge.

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.
