What Causes Bleeding From Stitches Of Circumcision For Phimosis?

Hi Doc
I had a circumcision for phimosis and am 46 years of age.
Op was on 7 Dec
Seems like the stitches at bottom / under gland are working hardest
Seems to bleed a little
Have big erinium (overweight) causing the wound to be kind of hidden sometimes.
Have been cleaning 3 times per day with salt water after shower.
Concerned about bottom stitch which seems to have loosened and little bleeding.
