Help me please its about circumcision

Hey guys, I need some help. I'm on my 14th day of my circumcision and when I got into shower I saw that I ripped off a stich, one stich. It has a little gap from the head, a little opening. The other stiches are fine and one fell off and got good. Now I'm worried because of this, I want to know if it will heal or not. Thanks.

Usually one stitch ripping isn't an issue and heals well regardless. However, at 14 days, most of your stitches will be coming off anyway. Stitches start coming out at around day 10 and onwards so its nothing unusual.

Are you sure there is a gap there that isn't natural? As in its overlapping skin and not the actual attached part?

Hard to tell without visual aid.

There is indeed a gap, an opening. but it's not that big.

Hmm, odd. By the 14th day usually stitches are no longer needed as the wound should have healed and attached to the shaft. Are you potentially a slow healer? Meaning it is usual for your wounds to take longer to heal?

Also, the gap, is that between the shaft and the original skin, or is it between the shaft and a "new" pinkish/redish skin?

Between the pink and the original skin there's a small gap. Im not a slow healer, some of the stiches are gone and healed and some are melted and they're healing. but, one stich got ripped off and made a small gap between the pinkish and the original skin

You shouldn’t be concerned if there is no bleeding and pain. If there is, then maybe just go see your doctor about it.
