Face sutures can come out in 5-7 days. Scar gel should be used after for at least 3 months followed by laser treatments if needed. Best, Dr. Emer.
The stitches and area should be examined by the person removing them before they just take them out. While 3 days is a bit short of the normal timeframe I recommend, it might be just fine. But the person who will remove them (I'm hoping it isn't you...?) will know if they should be removed at that time or left in for a few days more.

I suggest going to a cosmetic dermatologist and they can remove this cosmetically without any problems. Best, Dr. Emer.
This is not infected, but isn't healing properly. You should go see your dermatologist for wound care treatments as this will take a while to heal if not taken care of properly. Best, Dr. Emer.
These red lesions are called cherry angiomas. You will likely get more of these over time. The treatment is quite simple and straightforward. I prefer to treat the angiomas with a vascular laser such as a pulsed dye laser or the Excel 532 laser. The lesions respond very well to treatment....
It is very common to get many moles and spots as we age. They should be evaluated at least yearly for concern. If any spots have symptoms or discoloration that is out of the ordinary you should see your dermatologist sooner than yearly. Best, Dr. Emer.
The area should have healed with a flat scar. If you have an indentation that would need to be treated with a few cosmetic procedures to improve. Best, Dr. Emer.
