Stitches after 6 weeks post op?

Hey ppl, just wondering if anyone has experienced stitches still around after 6 weeks. All around the scar is smooth except for underneath near the frenulum. It feels rough and tight when I rub my fingers in that area unlike the rest of my penis. Not sure if it’s just scar tissue or stitches. Any help on this is appreciated.

No, not after 6 weeks. mine were out in around 3 weeks. On those places now are visible like stitch marks (like stretch marks).

And around the shaft I can feel a circle ring where it is connected. I wonder will that go away?

How long has it been for you?

Now it's almost three months.

And, maybe I needed to say, I had those dissolvable stitches. Outside were only end knots, and they have just fallen out in underwear, like little ball-knots. They were a bit of horror for the first few days as they were "pricking" me a bit.

The urologist who did mine told me that I could get any remaining stitches removed after 3 weeks and by that point I was definitely ready to get them out!
