[Routine help] Cleaning around facial stitches after mole excision

Hello. I had two bumpy moles removed by excision 6 days ago, one from the side of my nose and one from my eyelid. The surgery went well.

I was told to avoid water for 2 days, then remove the bandages, gently clean around the stitches, and apply povidone-iodine every 2 days. However, I was too afraid to remove the bandages because I’m worried about scarring.

I finally removed the bandage from my nose after soaking it briefly with drinking water and managed to apply the iodine solution, but there is still some old iodine residue, surgical pen ink, and dried blood around the wound on my nose. I haven’t been able to clean it because I'm scared to damage it, and I even still haven’t removed the bandage from my eyelid...

I’m returning to the hospital in 2 days to have the stitches removed. Could this cause any problems? Should I try to clean the wounds now, and if so, how can I do it safely without affecting healing or increasing scarring? Thank you in advance.

Help identify these Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse comics from my childhood

All from the 90s-2000s most probably.

I am searching for a Donald Duck comic. A king visits Donald Duck and his nephews in Duckburg. The setting is not medieval. The king wasn't a duck, he was possibly European with the red cape. Donald found his crown, cape and scepter in his suitcase or something. Donald wears the king's cape, crown and scepter. He was basically pretending to be the king. Not sure about this part but I also vaguely remember the king finds this out and challenges him to be the king for real for a while.

Also 2 Mickey Mouse comics, one is where Mickey can see into the space because something happened to his eyes? Some fluid got into his eyes in an accident and he is able to see so far into the space.
The other one is where Mickey goes to a fortune teller who is very modern looking. It's not “The Mysterious Crystal Ball”.

I'd be really happy if someone could identify at least one of these! Thank you in advance.
