Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have stitches in my arm that are due to come out tomorrow. Just last night I feel a burning sensation. My skin isn t red and there is no discharge . Is the burning sensation normal?
Hi , welcome to H.C.M.Forum, prbably the stitches are absorbable sutures, when they desolve in tissue fluids for some people there may be burning sensation. if they are removable sutures also some times may cause irritation. nothing is there to worry about it. as there is no red ness and discharge you need not worry, thank you.
