Pulled a stitch

I'm probably panicking over nothing but I had this hard like glue thing stuck to me so I thought it was from the plaster pulled it off and felt my stitch pull. I now feel really sick and it's stinging. Is this okay?! I've just put some gauze under both under my sports bra but honestly that was the most vile feeling ever lol x

As long as your not bleeding loads etc I imagine its fine and you've just unsettled it a little, I'm sure all is ok just keep a eye on it :) xx

You'll be prone to infection if you've pulled a stitch out. Get it checked by the clinic nurse x

Ouch, just keep and eye on it Hun, for any redness, soreness or pus. Should be ok but just keep checking over next few days. When have you got your next check?

If you are concerned Hun, just phone the clinc and ask for a quick wound check with the nurse x

Ive not pulled it completely out just a little bit longer than it was lol! It's not bleeding just really stinging! My next check isn't till just under 3 weeks time. I'll just keep an eye on it I think x

You should be just fine lovely Hug

as you've been advised, just keep check for any redness or pus there, but other than that, it'll be OK. It may be best though to remove the gauze if its not oozing anything babe so the air can get to it and allow it heal. Xxx
