It's now almost 3 months since my BA One of the stitches just wont dissolve, you can only see a very short piece of it coming out. It's not actually "splitting out", I think it was just too close to skin, after quite big "scap" fell of. Nurse looked at it and said that the scar is otherwise healed perfectly and it's not open and that there's not much to be done and all you can do is wait. This bothers me, because isn't it so, that if the stitch gets air, it wont dissolve?

tighter muscle on that side, or the use of different size saline...
