Asked By:MMHP17 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
I had my BA done on May 31st and got my stitches out a week ago but a few days later one came out in my hand in the shower and I assumed it was just missed, however I noticed today there is a hole there and it looks like a hole caused by a spit stitch. I am concerned because it has not started to scab and a week has passed since I found the stitch. Does it take a while to heal or is this not a spit stitch at all? I will make an appoimtment, but I just need some peace of mind in the meantime.
