I had a mass removed from my thyroid in November, the scar healed horribly. My doctor redid the incision in March. In March he realized my body repels vicryl suture. The scar healed neater this time, but on my last visit we noticed the stitches are still inside my body, lurking at the surface and will not dissolve. The scar is still reddish/purple and it looks like little dots underneath the skin. What are my options?
