HI
Thank of asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would say that if there is stiches taken with the dissolving material then such stiches takes eight to ten days for complete dissolving, if this does not dissolved within this period then you need to see the doctor, take care and have a nice day.
