Hi,
It seems thatthere might be having infection in open wound.
now it is difficult to take stitches as now surrounding skin becomes infected and brittle.
Clean local part with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
If infection is more then you might require a course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
