What to do when you break a stitch on your scalp?

If you break a stitch on your scalp, it's important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. Gently clean the wound with mild soap and water, then apply an antibiotic ointment. If the wound starts to open or bleed significantly, or if you notice signs of infection (like increased redness or pus), contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible re-stitching. Avoid picking at the area to promote proper healing.
