Should Stitches Put Into My Lip Be Removed Or Will They Dissolve?
Hi i had stitches put into my lip after an accident they all dissolved except for one. i wasnt sure if it was a scab but im pretty sure its a stitch. The accident hapoened over 3 weeks ago and im worried that they might have to dig into my lip to remove the stitch. The question is should i go have them remove it or do you think it will dissolve?... thanks.

Hi welcome to HCM
Dear , your anxiety about ' stitches put into your lip be removed or they'll dissolve' , is genuine .
But at the same time , as you say they all dissolved except for one , means there is nothing to worry much . This will also dissolve with little more time .Recovery is a gradual process .
Anyway ,wait for a week , you can consult your doctor to assure yourself that all is ok.
Hope this helps solve your query .Take care .All the best.
