Default If you have a face lift and pull loose a dissolvable stitch after 9 days, do...

...I need to tell the doctor? It was a spot above my ear in my hair that I thought was dried blood and so I was going to remove it then when I started picking at it, I realized it was a scab that probably had a stitch in it. I immediately stopped picking and I applied pressure to try to reclose it, but should I tell the doctor I did this since it is supposedly dissolvable anyways? It's only a little sore now and I dripped some peroxide on it tonight.

Also.....How long before all these ugly dissolvable stitches come out?? It has been 10 days. Is there anything that I need to be doing to them to help them along? whether it be cleaning? I've learned my lesson about picking.
