Doctors recommend avoiding swimming while you have stitches. You should wait until the wound has healed and the stitches are removed.
It depends what you did to it and how long the stitches have been in but for 95% of injuries if you've already had stitches I wouldn't say longer than a month but I'm not a doctor

It is not a good idea. The wound should be healed at that point but you still have the stitches creating little punctures in the skin.
I suspect you're right about the stitches still being there. Visit your doctor, or the surgeon, and have them check it for you.
i wouldn't recommend taking him/her for a while... probably bout two weeks or until his/her stitches have healed up

If you have stitches in your leg, it's generally advisable to avoid swimming until they are fully healed to prevent infection. If you must swim, consider using a waterproof bandage or dressing to protect the stitches. Additionally, limit your time in the water and avoid strenuous activities that could strain the area. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice based on your specific situation.
nope cause water can enter your body and infection is highly likely even in salt water and also it is unhygienic for other people swimming

For a gash on your forehead, it's important to clean the wound gently with soap and water to prevent infection. You can apply an antiseptic ointment to promote healing. If the gash is deep or bleeding heavily, it's advisable to seek medical attention for proper treatment, which may include stitches. Once cared for, you can cover it with a sterile bandage to protect it.
Stitches for a head wound typically come out between 7 to 14 days after the procedure, depending on the severity of the wound and the doctor's recommendation. If the area does not appear to be healing properly or shows signs of infection (like increased redness, swelling, or discharge), it's important to contact your healthcare provider for evaluation. They can assess whether the stitches should be removed sooner or if further treatment is needed. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions regarding wound care and follow-up.
