Suggest Treatment To Cure Stitches On The Forehead Of A Child
I have a 7 month old who had 3 stitches in his forehead 2 days ago. It s been hard getting him to stop taking the patch off that is covering the stitches! Any tips??? The stitches will be taken out in 4 days, the cut was made by glass and my son is otherwise healthy.

Hi,
The best way to prevent him from scratching the area will be to cover his fingers and hand till the wrist joint like a boxing gloves pattern so that he will not be able to pick or scratch at the stitches.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
