No, the stuture thing isn’t worrying at all, it’s just a pain to keep going every day with a new one. If you don’t have them removed when they break the surface then they can become a source of infection, as there is a pin prick of skin being held open by them. And they are quite sore and itchy at that point. These internal stitches are meant to dissolve over time, but sometimes the body, instead of holding onto the remnants till they do so, gets over-enthusiastic and briskly pushes them up to the surface and through the skin. If they were pushed right out, it wouldn’t be an issue as the skin would just heal, but they tend to get half way out then sit there. Doctor usually just gives a tug and if they come right out that’s good, otherwise he pulls them out a tiny bit and clips them off, so the rest falls back under the skin to dissolve. That’s not sore at all, and the relief when they are out is immense. If I could reach them, it would be easy enough to do myself if I had a sterile stitch cutter and a pair of tweezers, but so far they’ve all been under my arm.
Anyway, got dressed (Amies and the green heart sweat from last year), put my contacts in and put some hair and makeup on, so looking and feeling more like myself.
