Hi,
I had a circumcision on July 4. My wound is healing well, but only one stitch came out so I went to my surgeon for a check-up on July 24. He pulled out 2 loose stitch and said he will be going on a vacation for 2 weeks, If i still have stitches in he will remove them. So I have to wait till August 7 or 14 (He only works on Wednesday and I don't know which day he will return) but I'm afraid if the stitches stay in for almost 6 weeks they will cause problems. I am really afraid of getting stitch tunnels or to the a very weird scar. What should I do? I'm afraid to remove them by myself, or should I just wait? I don't know what type of stitches they are. The surgeon only said to use chamomile tea until the stitches fall out.
Also can I take baths? Or should I just continue showering?
