big and I it's healed up and I want to take the stitches out. Is it
okay to do myself, or should this only be done by a doctor? they are
not dissolvable stitches.
1. yes u can, use sterile teknik, fine one point scissors,as it is well
healed, small. and band aid after.
2.if u donot remove in 8 - 14 days, the silk/cotton sutures get stuck
to the skin layers.
3.make sure the wound all layers are closed well. otherwise after
remove sutures the wound can gape all length or some part.
4make sure there is no pus/infection along.
5.there can be swollen ridge, even keloids. take care.
6.if u have insurance, those people may not accept self removal.
7. take note of the other 2 writers.
