I like the application of a topical antibiotic while the sutures are in place.  They should be removed at about five days to prevent "railroad" tracts.  The timing of removal should depend on the condition of the healing to prevent dehiscence.  Avoiding ultraviolet light exposure with sunscreen will help to reduce the risk of hyper pigmentation.
