Just had my moles excised, is there any exercise I can do without causing pressure on the tight?

I had 2 moles on my right tight by the ellipse excision method. The stitches will be removed in 10 days and the doctor told me that I shouldn't do any exercise in 7 days as the sweat might irritate the skin and worse it might stretch or break the suture.

I'm used to going to the gym everyday and I think 7 days is a bit too long! Is there any upper body exercise that I can do without causing pressure on the tight?

    If the doctor has advised no exercise for 7 days, then that's what you should do. They will have said it for a reason. If you do too much you will do yourself more damage.
    Put your feet up and enjoy your time off.

    It's just a week. Some exercises to help are:

    TV series catch-ups
    Video game marathoning
    Couch potato impersonation
