Hello and welcome to HCM,
The sutures or stitches applied on skin are non-dissolving.
These sutures have to be removed by the surgeon.
Pain usually subsides within few days after healing of the scar.
In the meanwhile, analgesics or pain-killers are given to control the pain.
Persistent pain and bruising in the region requires clinical assessment by your surgeon.
Bruising suggests bleeding in the sub-cutaneous tissue.
Pain can occur due to injury to some nerve supplying the area.
Thus, consult your surgeon for further management.
Thanks and take care
