I've had a BCC removed from the top of my arm three weeks ago. The Dr put in 8 dissolvable stitches and 8 normal ones. I had the normal ones removed after 10 days but can feel what feels like a hard and sharp bit of fishing line sticking out of my arm - it's catching on clothing. I have tried pulling it gently with tweezers but it won't budge. For the past couple of days the area has felt weirdly uncomfortable and that's when I discovered the bit sticking out.
The GP nurse who removed the stitches wasn't great - didn't have her glasses to see properly, coughed all over me, didn't have the right tweezers to remove the stitches and then, when she did, forgot to put her gloves back on, which I didn't see until afterwards, so I don't want her to touch them or me again as it was a painful, protracted and pretty unprofessional process.
Is this likely to be one of the dissolvable stitches, or is it the normal one, which hasn't been removed please? What would you advise as next steps in this situation?
