Hello,
The discomfort after 21 days of circumcision is not normal, and if the stitches are causing the issue you can get it removed even though they are absorb-able; as many times depending upon the tissue chemical response it may take several weeks to dissolve them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
