i have no idea where you had stitches. or the extent of your laceration repair. facial sutures should be removed in just a few days; rarely over five days and the wound reinforced by special tape. extremity sutures can stay 7-10 days; deeper wounds may require longer but it would be unusual for that recommendation to exceed three weeks. this is really up to the medical provider who sutured you. you should not be leaving most sutures in for as long as have nor should you be taking them out yourself unless you were instructed how to do so and when. i have no idea if this will hurt. i don't have enough information nor do i know your skill level of doing this.
would it be painful to take a few stitches off after 3-4weeks? . i've had my stitches in for about 3 weeks almost and i am just wondering if it would be better to remove them now or wait until my cut is fully healed. i pulled out 5 stitches on my own after 2 weeks and it hurt a lot so will it hurt to remove the remaining ones after 3-4 weeks?
