My skin grew over my stitches overnight!

Honestly they quite close to the surface and yeah makes it more awkward but it's a very common thing. I had 4 screws drilled into my gum line one time so they could band my lower jaw shut when I'd had it broken and one of the screws on the bottom row just got swallowed up it fell in under my gumline and all healed up they had to cut it back out a few months later and like you I worried about it gonna be painful, they'll be sticking needles in my face, like hate dental work needle jabs at best of times, but they just looked said ''look we can numb it up if you really want or you put up with a few moments of pain job done and it was nothing.

I mean they do this stuff regular and they got options on the table they might even have that stuff they rub in just to take the edge off for all I know but like I say I was just worrying myself over nothing it wasn't exactly nice experience but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

On the day it will be two minutes the job will be done. Hope it all goes well though and honestly try not to worry yourself they'll know what to do you make it as comfortable as they can it will be over in a few moments. x

Calm down. I made mountains out of some 20 odd moles and doc just removed those stitches within seconds. Skin part in your case must be having a solution. Let them do their job.
You do yours. Just keep calm n chant or distract self via your best possible tried way though it is easier said than done.

I will return to check on your update. Post once you feel You can.

Oh man, I had surgery 3 weeks ago I wish I was healing half as fast as you. My incision is half under my foot. 😫

Yours is a little pink but doesnt look super infected. I wish you continued healing! I wouldn't sweat them digging out your stitches.

I think at this point you should call and explain to doctors. They should have an emergency call number? If not, I would go to an immediate care facility, there should be one close to you.

A lot of them are designed so that they will bio degrade over time, but the skin growing back is needed so it must also be expected, I wouldn't think it a great concern

Most stitches today are made of a material that is designed to dissolve. They are referred to as "Absorbable Sutures"

That sounds an awful long time to leave stitches in...?

I have Melanoma cancer and get checked every 3 months. I have had big patches removed and skin grafts. In time it all gets better so dont worry x

Let's see please. If your comfortable.
