I'm about 5 months post Otoplasty and it appears that I have a white stitch that is sticking out of my left ear, (circled in red). It isn't painful or irritated but I have been applying vaseline on it just as a method to prevent irritation. Is this something that I should be concerned about, and should I see a surgeon to fix it, or can I just ignore it and it will heal over on its own? Thank you.
