Stitches

Has anyone had problems with any internal stitches making their way out. In one of my incisions I have one coming out. I can't grab at it but when something rubs against it, it hurts.

    Put a gauze pad over it and give your team a call.

    They will tell you what to do.

    This is not uncommon, so please do not panic.
    ​

    The gauze pad is just to prevent the stitch from rubbing against your clothing.

    Post back and let us know how you made out.

    Good luck, friend. :)

    One of mine did that. My surgeon had me just keep a little bandaid over it till the internal part dissolved then the part that stuck out fell off.

    It's not that big. It started off like a pimple and over time I feel it only when my clothing rubs on it. I'm not alarmed of them coming out. Just bothersome ya know
