As for the stitches being "loose", your harm may hit been expanded at the time they were place in. When the swelling went down, it would cause the stitches to be loose. If this is the case, no one did anything wrong. The doc could hit waited a day or so for the swelling to go downbound before putting the stitches in (and kept your hand treated in the meantime), but being the location, he belike wanted to get the harm closed.
As for the care... Peroxide is ok for INITIAL CLEANINGS ONLY. It entireness great to "bubble out" dirt & small particles. After that, it actually kills the newborn cells that modify in the healing process. In the ER, we usually place antibiotic toiletries on newborn sutures, then cover & wrap the area. We then tell the patient to ready the bandage on for 24 hours, and to not get the harm dewy for 24-48 hours. After that, clean gently with soap & warm water only. Sutures are typically removed 7-10 days after they are place in.
I hope this helps! Next time, ask your doctor questions until you see the directions completely! Good luck!
