Stitches ripped thru skin

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I cut my arm open to the fatty tissue. Had 10 stitches on the inside layer of my skin and 10 more on top. It’s about 2 inches long. I’ve had the stitches for 5 days. The dr said leave them in 7-10. Two of the particular stitches have been hurting and feeling extra right and when I woke up one stitch had ripped thru my skin and is in the middle of my arm, not even holding it together and I can see a small hole in my arm. Should I go in?
