Day 4 Partial incision dual treatment

There is swelling, but it's not completely broken.
 It's not as thick as an earthworm, but
 it's a little visible... ?

When should I use a warm compress?
 Starting today? Starting tomorrow? I'm
 
currently using a cold compress, but it
 
's itchy. Itchy.
 
Itchy. Itchy.
 
I haven't taken out
 the stitches yet. It's going to be very painful when I do. Somehow…
Ugh, it's terrible just to imagine.
 
I'm just taking the cream that's sold at pharmacies to reduce swelling, but I don't know if it's effective.
 
Do I need to add a few more
 ?
It's more expensive than I thought. But if it's important to get rid of swelling
 quickly, I think I'll have to take it all. The hospital said I don't need to eat it and that
 
the first week is important, but
 
I'm worried about what will happen to the marks after the stitches are removed.
