    I think it was a couple of weeks I even went back to see if the nurse could trim them but it was so short she couldn’t ! I know it’s not a nice feeling at all is it xxxx

    I didn’t have dissolvable stitches i had real ones but when i had them taken out one has always been sore, red and sticting out, when i went back the nurse cut it down as far as she could but i could still feel the end of it all the time:/ i started using bio oil on my scars and eventually the skin just grew over the tiny point and now looks&feels completely normal xx
