Hello Santhosh , there are two type of sutures
1) resobable - which resorbs by itself need not be removed by doctors
2) non-resobable - has to be removed by doctors
If u got resolbable sutures it can be left it will go by itself if itâs non resorb
able you l have to visit your doctor and get it removed .
