How To Remove Excess Of Threads Used For Stitching Polyp In The Cheek?

Hello. I had a small polyp removed from inside my cheek, just inside my mouth yesterday. I have two stitches. I am not in any pain, and there is no bleeding, but the stitches are quite long and loose,and dangling onto my lip - I am worried that I may bite them or pull them by accident - am I going to cause further damage?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have stiches on cheek you should be careful while eating as it may hurt you of you get injury during eating .

For this you should consult dentist and go for removal of excess suture or new suture and for oral examination also.

Hope this will help you.
