    Does anyone have any tips for dealing with itching around the dissolvable stiches? I’m a bit concerned as to why only one of them is itching.

    I’ve got big plasters over them and aren’t seeing the nurse until next Thursday, when they should hopefully be removed. It’s driving me mad!!!!

    Any suggestions???

    Im seeing my nurse on monday, had my op on Tuesday this week. Anyone have any idea how long it roughly takes for the stitches to dissolve/heal?

    Im very impatience lol.

    itching for cuts/burns etc, usually means its in the process of healing itself so i don’t think it will be long left :)

    Blimey, I only had mine done on Wednesday, so that’s fab if they are starting to heal already!!! x
