What to do if a stitch is sticking out?

So am 4weeks po tomor, my incisions have healed beautifully minus I have one little stitch at the edge of my right boob that use sticks out and won’t do anything. No idea what I should do xx

You can either leave it and wait till u see yhe nurse and she will remove it, or do like I did I played with it till it fell out, I had 3 migrating stitches in total between 5 weeks and 8 weeks po, when they came out they left a small red hole.which is normal and heals very quickly, u can just leave it to come out on its own but it may take a while lol xx

Hi Jlwalker,

The best thing to do is to contact your nurse so she can give you advice.

Please let me know if you would like me to ask her to give you a call.

Many thanks

I had an appointment with my doctor for something unrelated and he snipped the stitch off for me…if you get on well with your gp it might be worth a try? xx
