Asked By:nadiave in Portugal

woke up few days ago and left nipple was spread the next day i noticed blue stitching (have permanent and dissolvable on top layer doctor said). Then they started coming through skin but stopped now although i can feel them. My right nipple is still very tight & small specially the lower part seems very tightly stitched.i also feel stitches poking under the skin. So worried it Will heal like this & have very diferent nipples! Will it enlarge to match the other? Should i take the stitching out?
