Glue stitching

I had my surgery 5 days ago and they were all closed with a surgical glue stitch and today is day five and one just was peeling on its own and came off. Is that a bad thing that it peeled so soon. I haven't messed with it or anything before that

I was told not to rub the incisions and to let the glue fall off by itself. If it naturally fell off I wouldn't worry unless it is painful or doesn't look like it is healing. If in doubt, you can always call your surgeon and ask.

yeah same here, they said just let if come off and I am 2 weeks out and all but one have came off

After rinsing with mild soap and lukewarm Water, I'd cover that with a small gauze sponge bandage or a bandaid for a week or two. You should be careful not to get it infected while it's still healing
