Help..Stitches are coming OUT from my wrist!!!

Yukk factor here about 10000!!! Last night my wrist was itching in the area where I had my surgery 4 weeks ago maybe closer to 5 weeks now but anyways...it was itching like crazy!!

So I got some hand lotion and put a small amount on the very thin 3 inch faint red scar as I rubbed it in a white "blob" appeared! I dabbed of the rest of the lotion and YUKK...there IS an internal stitch coming out of my wrist!!!! I thought it was just a loose piece of stuff put when I GENTLY pulled on it the skin an inch up my arm pulled tight!!!

My incision has been healed shut for over 3 weeks now, there were no external stitches at all...doc said he did it that way to help reduce scarring. I know this thing is infected as the drainage last night was proof of that. So I sat here last night just being "icked out" and wishing the surgons office was open!!!

I shall call them today and see if I can get in....of course I have it covered up but its just NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!

That is not good news!

Hope you can see the surgeon today. The infection can get nasty in a hurry. But the itching is a great sign! That means healthy skin is growing back in place.

I hope it goes well for you.

You know, there are two type of stitches, soluble and non-soluble. I'm kinda wondering if they used the non-soluble, (the kind you get removed after a week or so from a surface wound) instead of the others?
Just a thought, but get it checked out!
If there was a hole created by the stitch coming OUT, then there's route IN for infection, please get it sorted quick. Antibiotics are not the best dessert to have with Christmas turkey! LOL

Just got back from the doctor, he cut the stitch the rest of the way out, and said I am just one of the few people he has met that their body will not allow the stitches to disolve quickly or at all.....it just happens is what he said. So I go back next week for a recheck, any sign of infection just call and he will get me a script for antibiotics and things should be just fine and dandy....LOL....its just kinda "creeepy"
