Removing stitches question

Just do it yourself.

Depends on the type.

Post a pic and we can tell you. You may be able to remove them yourself with cosmetic scissors.

I had ankle surgery and they clipped mine with nail clippers to pull out the strands. Felt strange/slightly uncomfortable. Maybe a little stinging, but as long as you aren't a vagina you should be fine

They cut them out or you can do it yourself at the recommended time. It's painless.

It certainly feels weird, but it's something you can absolutely do yourself..

Scissors + tweezers + rubbing alcohol + high ball of scotch = you got this.

They aren't needed at all. Just snip the stitch and pull it out. Move to the next one. Snip. Pull. Repeat. Oh yeah... pull on the end with the knot, if you pull on the other end, you'll try to pull the knot through, and, well, that won't work out well for you.

Are they on your hand?

Just cut your hand off

I had the kind that go away on their own. I found a piece stuck in my skin causing a bunch of irritation like four months after the surgery.

You talk a lot of shite for being such a pussy

I got hit by a car. Broke my jaw, road rash all over the face, broke several teeth, thought I broke my neck for a little while. I had a cut on my upper lip, right where the "lip skin" starts. The most painful part of the entire ordeal was getting those stitches removed. That skin was just sensitive. I teared up while getting them pulled it stung so bad.
