It's generally advisable to keep stitches dry for the first 24 to 48 hours after they are applied to allow the wound to start healing. After this initial period, if your healthcare provider has given you the go-ahead, you can usually get the stitches wet, but it’s best to avoid soaking the area. Always follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding wound care to ensure proper healing. If you have any concerns, consult your healthcare provider.
