I thought my stitches were dissolvable but have read up on the absorption time on vicryl and pds and I am surprised as they do not fully dissolve for a long time. Once they have dissolve will associated redness cease? Also can vicryl stitch still cause infection and or inflammation 6 months after op. I have these stitches used in my nose. Thanks
