Vicryl's tensitle strength is approximately 50% between 2-3 weeks and is fully dissovled by 2.5-3.5 months. When we bury suture and tie it the ends of the suture can spit or poke out of the skin. This usually happens around the 4-6 week mark.
Since the surgery, the cut itself healed in a nice straight line, but I've had really persistent, somewhat scaly redness around the excision site, about the size of a thumb's nail. I'm beginning to suspect that perhaps the stitches haven't dissolved and I'm still having a reaction to them. The area doesn't feel painful, itchy, or tight - it feels like normal skin except a little rougher and red. Has anyone ever heard of vicryl sutures failing to dissolve? How can I tell, short of cutting the area back open, whether there still might be stitches hanging around in there? Thanks!
