Hello, I had a full tummy tuck 2 months and half and i started to feel stitches poking me inside my skin. I had a stitch abscess a month ago but now is completely cure. But when i touch my scar i can feel stiches poking my skin. I dont have any open skin or holes in my scar. It is just the feeling of the stich poking me. Is not painful but sometimes it feel uncomfortable when im wearing tight pants. I cant stop touching my scar and feel them. I hope they go away soon.
