My favourite type of wound closure - a fine suture is interwoven into the skin edges so that stitch marks are avoided; scar at 2 weeks

Wound at 2 weeks and just before suture is pulled out

Surgical tape applied over the wound; left in place for 7 - 14 days

Splash proof dressings put over the surgical tape; left in place for 7-14 days
