I had Mohs on the bridge of my nose almost 2 months ago. The surgeon used permanent stitches under the skin. I have had the permanent stitches trimmed once already when they were sticking out from under my skin, but I can see and feel them sticking out again now. Could exposed permanent stitches pose an increased risk of infection? What can I do other than going back to have the ends trimmed off again? Is it common practice to use permanent stitches for Mohs on the nose?
