Stitch popping out

OMG :o

There is a stitch popping out of one of my incisions. Should I clip it? The incision is itching and that is how I noticed the stitch popping out.

I had the same problem. I clipped it with some nail clippers and I still felt a little stubble there and i just kept messing with it (like turning it back and forth) and eventually it just fell. My port incision would itch alot. I just kept putting lotion on it and finally went away.

Okay good. So if I clip it nothing will fall out of place in my tummy. :rolleyes: Lol....

I HAD THIS PROBLEM TOO I LEFT IT ALONE. I DIDN'T WANT IT GETTING INFECTED.

Me too! Though everyone once in a while I would catch my self rubbing it. It was like I was subconsciously obsessed with it :blink:

I had this happen also. Only difference was the would was a little open which means it would have left a wider scar. Goal is to keep the edges of the skin tight together to leave a thin scar. I went to the drugstore and got some steri-strips to close it up tight.
