I had an abcess from a spitting stich in the past and was able to remove the knot myself with tweezers. I attempted to do this on another stitch that I thought was working its way out. Bad idea. I wasn't able to find or remove it. Now I have a hole. I'm afraid I left myself worse off. If I leave it alone, will it heal normally? I alternate letting it breathe and covering it with bandage and antibiotic ointment. I am upset that I have done this. Please advise. My surgeon is across the country
