2weeks after resuturing and opening up, looks like my wound is finally closing up. I'm not going to have it stitched up again But what do I do with the sutures that didn't dissolve? I tried to pull it out but it started bleeding. Now I'm too scared to touch it. It's doing so good and I don't want to compromise it. Thank you!
