Pulled out a dissolvable stitch five days after surgery, will this affect me?

Stemeh
I had a HUGE clump of dried blood near the tip of my nostril, and it started getting too annoying. It started coming off, and I got tempted to just pull it off. I pulled it off and i also pulled off a dissolvable stitch. There is no blood coming out, but I am really scared and worried. My surgery was 4/2/2014 and it is now 4/7/2014. It does not hurt and it feels the same
