Applying makeup to open wounds can irritate them, cause an infection, and interfere with wound healing. Once the incision sites close and sutures are removed (typically during days 5-14), you should be able to apply makeup in such areas.Click to see full answer. Just so, when can you wear makeup after stitches?Do not wear make up over the incisions until the sutures are removed (or have dissolved), and a thin layer of new skin covers the area. This usually takes 7 to 10 days. You should generally not wear make up directly over the incision until you are told it is all right to do so by the office.One may also ask, do I need to keep my stitches covered? Protect the stitches. You may need to cover your stitches with a bandage for 24 to 48 hours, or as directed. Do not bump or hit the suture area. If they rub on your clothing, put a gauze bandage between the stitches and your clothes. Just so, can I put makeup on a healing scar? Once your wound has closed and your skin has healed, a bit of makeup or cover up can actually help your scar. Using a primer will ensure that the scar is able to continue to heal properly even while its noticeability is reduced by makeup.What can you put on an incision to heal?First, soak the cloth or gauze in soapy water or in a mixture of sterile water and salt. Then, gently wipe or dab the skin around the wound. Don’t use skin cleansers, antibacterial soaps, alcohol, iodine, or peroxide. They can damage the skin in the wound and delay healing.
