I Seem To Be Having Problems With My Dissolving Stitches.

Hi, i seem to be having problems with my Dissolving stitches. They are located on the underside of the tip of my penis. They havnt dissolved yet, and i was wondering why?! It has been 1 month almost now. Also the end of the stiches, they are almost shaped like a four leaf clover, or a butterfly.

Depends on what type of material was used to put your stitches. Did your doc tell u that u could expect them to go by 1 month? Some stitches may take more than a month to get absorbed.
