Do my stitches look ok? (pics included)

I had minor surgery and 2 separate sets of stitches in my leg on Tuesday morning. I've just removed the dressings to check on them and put fresh plasters over both sites.

I'd be ever so grateful if anyone medically minded could let me know if they look alright. I think they are ok, and will keep an eye on them and i will seek medical attention if i see any deterioration from how things currently look - am so squeamish and have been dreading looking at them!

The yellowing i think is remnants of the stuff the doctor covered the areas with, before slicing the skin open.

Apologies for less than fantastic focus on one of the pics, it's round the side of my leg in an awkward place to photograph.

There's no bad smell, no bleeding. Slightly tender to touch, but not alarmingly so. I assume they are not infected and are healing fine?

They look perfectly fine.
Google "infected stitches" if you want to see actual issues.
