A Stitch Popping Out Of A Scar Caused By A Gland Removal Surgery In Neck. What Should I Do?
I recently had a gland removed in my neck. The internal stiches were supposed to be disolvable and the outer incision was super-glued . However it is now about a month 1/2 later and a cloth stitch is now coming out of one end of the scar. Yikes! You can call me Frankie but what the heck should I do?

Hi,
After about a week or ten days outer thread or silk sutures are to be removed by your doctor.
Consult your doctor and get stitches removed.
Ok and take care.
