Have my stitches come undone?

December 13, 2014
Asked By:dolly14 in Birmingham, GB

I had a mole removed from the wall of just in side my vagina hole 6 days ago, I was given dissolvable stitches and was fine for the first 5 days with no bleeding or nothing. Then last night I started to get bleeding and I am still bleeding now, it is not a gushing but it is bleeding continously - is it possible that my stitches have come undone - should I go to hospital?

Holes in skin from dermatend: What can I do to repair?

Filler is difficult to use in scarred areas. The reason is that the 'hole' is usually a depressed scar that is attached to the underlying tissue. If you try to inject filler, many times it will fill around the edge and can not separate the skin from the scar - this may result in a worsening of...
