Hi, does it cause pain or severe swelling?
Have the sutures come out completely? Sometimes retained sutures can lead to such problems.
If yes you should show it to another Surgeon and get it removed.
You could also ask us a Direct or a Specialist query and send us a photo so that we can advice you whether it would require removal or can be managed without any active treatment.
Take care,
