Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

I got 4 stitches out of my knee yesterday and I played volleyball today. It does not look like the wound has completely reopened but there are fleshy bits that are exposed, no blood but lots of clear/white discharge on my bandaid. Area feels tingly.

Hi keep the wound area clean n dry..do not attempt to wash it with savlon,dettol etc..it will irritate the skin further..wash with plain water applying mild soap n dry the area n apply fuscidic ointment 2 times a day for 2 weeks till the wound heals completely..during the day u can put a bandaid to cover it.
