I had my stitches out after 10 days like the Dr told me to. They said that a couple of them were a little infected and to use peroxide. So I did. I've been cleaning them very well for about a week now and the healing is slow going. They itch! Just wondering if anyone else had this issue and how long did it take you to heal up completely??

don't PICK at them!!!! (spoken like a true nurse)

Oh...it took my incisions about 4-5 weeks to completely heal. I also had a hernia fixed just about my belly button. That one took a couple more weeks on top of that before it was completely healed.

My wife tells me I heal like a dog... whatever that's suppose to mean. I was healed up in about 3 weeks with no complications.

The fact that your incision sites are itchy means they are healing.
