So first he said they would fall out now i googled bc nylon stitches dissolve under the skin he left the ties exposed on the right side i talked to him and he said you can cut em yourself or come back to miami and ill do it (im in houston) on the r and this bump is there. I cut it but this bump was there before i cut it is it just irrated or is it a infection ive also read about spittin stitches kind of looks like tht. Any advice would be much appreciated
