Stitch removal issue after 7 days

[jrw2scw 4]

Just removed some of my stitches on my incision sites and had problem with two of the wound sites opening up, no blood just made me a little whoozie to say the least..We cleaned the wound, used hydrogen peroxide, no bubbles/issues. We then used steri strips to close with no issues...Question: Has anyone ever had this issue, please advise...

You removed your own stitches? I've not had it happen but I'm surprised you removed your own. My doctor took my staples out 2 days post op and put steri strips on. No problems.

I would say if there is no blood you are ok. That means there were no open capillaries. Keep the strips on for as long as you can. Call your doctor to see what they say.
