Thank you for your question and photo. The incision looks like it is healing well. On the subject of suture removal, our office recommendation: No Kitchen Surgery. Please contact your hand surgeon and ask what his/her protocol is. Most surgeons want you to come back in for suture removal. If the patent lives out of town, some other arrangements might be made.
It looks like that is a single, running chromic suture which is dissolvable. In my practice, I usually just leave the chromic sutures in after trigger finger release and let the dissolve, though it usually takes weeks. If you are intent on getting it removed, then I would recommend you see your surgeon who operated on you. I would not recommend removing these sutures on your own.
