How soon can bathe with dissolving stitches?
After receiving dissolving stitches, it's generally advised to wait at least 24 to 48 hours before bathing. This allows the initial healing process to begin and reduces the risk of infection. However, it's important to keep the area dry and avoid soaking it until the stitches have dissolved or your healthcare provider gives you the go-ahead. Always follow your doctor's specific instructions for your individual situation.
