Post appendectomy question?
I had my appendix out two n a half months ago and the scar has healed up nice. But at the very top there is still an internal stitch that keeps on protruding into my skin everytime i lay down causing a little bump. And when you push down on it, it almost feels like a little wire. Is this normal? I have a dr appointment tomorrow for him to check it out?
Answers:
If the suture is a dissolvable material, your body will eventually absorb it without a problem. If it is not absorbable, your doctor may cut it out tomorrow. It is a simple procedure, it shouldn't hurt, especially because scar tissue is not as sensitive as normal skin.
