I had a Rhytidectomy recently. In the last 2 days, I've had 2 stitches come out in the Tragus area of 1 ear. I trimmed 1. I pulled the other one off because i think it had already come out. 1 of the threads was black & 1 looked more white. I think both ears look the same. I added a thin layer of Neosporin to both Tragus areas as an attempt to moisturize a little & as an attempt not to compromise my ultimate result. I have a another appt. scheduled in 3 wks. All other stitches are fine. Thanks !
