stitches
i have a stitch in my left boob, that has not dissovled. i had a little scab on it and it was quite ichy so give it a little itch through my sports bra, and it came off, when i lifted to have a look it was still hanging on so gave it a little pull and this stitch came with it, it is quite long as well.. now not sure what to do shall i leave it alone? try pull it out or wait few weeks till i see my surgeon??
im just so nervous about everything this time as i dont want an infection, im trying to guard these ones.. any advice would be great xx

Re: stitches
hey hun i'm no expert but i'd leave it if i were you. U may find it dissolves and just breaks away by itself. I had the same thing once and the nurse just cut it short so it didn't stick out so much. Try to ignore it, happy healing x x

Re: stitches
could be worth phoning the clinic and they would probably snip it for you

Re: stitches
I had that RR with lots of my stitches xx I disinfected a pair of very sharp scissors and then snipped them off close to the skin and then kept the site clean :thumbs: My OH is ex military and has had loads and loads of stitches all over the place xx either he or I have done this LOTS in the past including removing permanent stitches when he's healed to save having to go back for the doc to do this xx As long as you make sure you disinfect scissors and clean your hands proper good shouldn't be any problems xx
If you don't feel comfy about this give the clinic a call and ask their advice hun xx I'm sure they will book you an appointment and then they will sort it for you xx

Re: stitches
I had this hun it happened on the Sunday and I was going to the clinic on the Tuesday and decide to leave it and by the time I went it had rubbed off. If it bothers you like Kay says sterilise some scissors be careful and snip or ring the clinic to see if they can get a nurse to do it for you xx
