Pulled loose a dissolvable stitch tonight only 21/2 days post Mohs surgery on my face. Will this affect the wound closure scar?

I was cleaning the wound as instructed, and thought it was part of the Qtip, but when I pulled on it a string started coming so I left it alone. I remember during the stitching my doctor said she was using an in and out dissolvable stitch for the exterior (surface) wound healing. Her office is closed until Monday. Thanks!
