they were talking about that in the chat room and the doctors told them to just cut it off it the interal stitches the ends

It's a suture that will eventually fall off.

Yes it's a suture. Clip it off close to the skin , that at least will stop it getting caught on something and pulling as that can be pretty uncomfortable.

I just let mine alone and it fell off by its self

I just put a band aid over mine to stop it from poking through my clothes. It came off soon enough.
