re: Anyone here ever remove stitches on their own?

Several times. Snip below the knot and pull out the side without the knot. Had 6 in my lip, well actually 3 in my lip and 3 above it. I let my dad take the ones out in my lip, but I had taken the ones out above it already. Had 6 on some fingers. 4 on the index and 2 on the middle. Took those out myself.
