I have had my mole removed and stitched back up with dissolvable stitches, when will they fall off?

I have had my mole removed and my scab has fell off when I knocked it but I have had disolvable stitches in that still haven't dissolved from around 2-3 weeks ago, now my scab has fell off and I don't know what to do.
