So, I had an excision last month and have been putting gel on it twice a day everyday and the last couple of days I can feel something sticking out. I've realised it must be a stitch.
What will this mean for the healing thats already happened?! I'm going on holiday very soon too. I'm so disappointed. I hate touching it and looking at it and now this!
I had a stich left in. Is it black or blue or colourless. If colourless it will eventually dissolve, if not may be worth contacting someone to take it out for you. Mine was colourless and eventually disappeared but the scab wouldn't come off where it had been. I told my Consultant at my final appointment and he just flipped the scab out and all was fine. Have a good holiday and try and relax you have got through the worse part, now time to heal. xx
