(Stitches) How long should I keep my bandaid on?
I've got 2 stitches on my finger and I dont know how long to keep my bandaid on.
Ive kept one on for 24 hours and let it air out for probably an hour or 30 min then put another one on over night. I have one on now but idk if I should keep a bandaid on for until I have to take off my stitches or not

24 hours with a clean band aid is minimal time. What's the rush ?
Just leave the band aid alone for a couple of days.
You may then want to wash the area with soap and water, dry it well, and re- apply a fresh band aid.
A band aid is there for a purpose: to keep infections OUT.
Leave it well alone for now....
