How long should stitches be in?
The Doctor Who put them in will be able to best judge how long they need to be left in, but on average stitches on the face should be left in for 3-5 days, stitches on the body or scalp 7-10 days, and stitches on extremities 10-14 days. When a stitch is put in on a joint like the elbow or knee, the wound will take longer to heal and stitches should be left in for a full two weeks. Stitches being left in for too long risk infection and painful extraction and stitches removed too soon can result in the wound opening up again.

Why a bandage left on a wound for a number of days can promote the growth of bacteria rather than control it?
Moisture from the wound can get trapped under the bandage, creating a warm, damp environment ideal for bacterial growth. Additionally, as the bandage becomes soiled over time, it can introduce new sources of bacteria to the wound. Regularly changing the bandage helps to prevent bacterial overgrowth and promotes wound healing.
