Little Hole After Removing a Forgotten Stitch from Tummy Tuck. Will It Go Away?

pinkflower
My Dr. used both, dissolvable and external stitches, everything healed fine,except for a little spot at the center of the incision, it had been wet and white for some time. 2 days ago I decided to clean up some of the white stuff after taking a shower and I saw a blue little knot from the external stitches which were removed about to 2 weeks after surgery, so I just pulled it out and it came right off, but now I have a little hole! will it close by it self, my Dr. is 3000 km from where I am!
