I want to ask about the stitches.

[Iwanttofitinmyweddingdress 31]

I got the dissolvable stitches and the purple glue, I have been itchy around the incision site, though I have been scratching lightly near it or not close to it. I took a shower today and noticed one of my stitches is missing a stitch and glue. This is day 4, and my birthday. Is it supposed to heal this quickly? Or am I turning into a superhero that heals quickly?

I don't scrub or touch that area in the shower, I just wash my hair and face, then I am out. Does it look a bit healed? Just curious.

Happy Birthday!

If you're not picking at it and your glue/incisions aren't being rubbed off by clothing, you should be fine. I only had the glue, but it just slowly fell off over the first 2 weeks.

Everyone's body is different, your recovery will be different than the next person's.

If you're concerned, general signs of infection are: redness, swelling, pain, and fever
