It is generally recommended to avoid submerging stitches in water, including beach water, for at least two weeks to reduce the risk of infection and ensure proper healing. Saltwater and bacteria can irritate the stitches and the healing wound. Always follow your doctor's advice, as individual cases may vary based on the type of stitches and location of the wound. If you have any concerns, consult your healthcare provider before going in the water.
