Absorbable stitches
Hi
I got absorbable stitches on my forehead 24 days ago. I think they are still not absorbed fully,I can see clots on the skin till now. How much time will it take to dissolve fully?
I apply T-bact ointment once daily on it. Shall i need to get the stitches removed or leave them till they dissolve themselves. Also, do i need to cover it while going out ? Please help
