Stitch Hanging Out

My stomach itched today and with out thinking i just scratched and accidently scraped my scap on my incision by my belly button. I looked down and pulled the rest of the scap off and a stitch was attached and it's about 1 inch long just hanging out of my incision. I'm guessing they are dissolvable so should I just wait for it to fall off or should I cut it off.

You could clip it closer to your skin if it's aggravating you. Mine were the dis-solvable kind, so you are ok if your Dr didn't tell you to come back in to have stitches removed.

The scab fell off a couple weeks ago, but I have a string hanging out too. Just weird.

I had the same thing happen. They dissolve and fall out..and I was glad cause thats the only incision that I had that ever itched and bothered me!!!
