three stiches in the left forehead, can you go swimming if it's been twenty!


Question: Three stiches in the left forehead, can you go swimming if it's been twenty four hours already?
Answers:

I wouldn't go swimming until the stitches are out. Anything can enter the wound because it is not healed yet and can give you some nasty problems.



Normally you aren't supposed to get new stitches and a cut wet. Also a swimming pool doesn't have the cleanest water. I wouldn't do it.



You normally can't go and get stitches wet until they're out. Swimming with them would introduce them to tons of germs and the wound could get infected.

I've had stitches 3 times



I wouldn't yet to early.
