Don't read this if you have weak stomach...

Okay. Yuck. My skin is healing over my staples, and I don't go to the doctor until Monday to get the staples out. Is this situation normal? Will it cause infection? Is it serious. I am grossed out a little about this, and it is ITCHY. I asked my husband if I should remove the staples myself, and he was like "NO, DON'T TOUCH THEM!" I am so compelled to to so because I don't want them a permanent part of me! (I have been known to do home operations on ingrown toenails before-and the picture wasn't too pretty. My husband was kind enough to mention that whole situation too....)

Please help.

Nancy, please leave them alone. You don't want to risk getting an infection. Have you tried Vitamin E oil? It helps w/itching and healing (reduces scars).
