Avatar f tn Is it possible to develop an allergy to dissolvable stitches six months after surgery. I had a breast reduction done six months ago and has developed rashes around the suture wounds and across the areolas on both breasts. I also have constant fever,scratching nausea,tiredness etc . I also developed water blisters on my left foot at the same time. I have been put on antihistamines for both day and night and steroid cream for the rashes.I have had this for at least 4 weeks now.
Avatar n tn Hi Dr. Rosenberg, I wrote before regarding problems with 'bottoming-out' and an over-dissected crease on one side of my breast. In addition, I had a delayed reaction with the PDS sutures 6.5 months post op, which had ultimately led to necrosis and an emergency surgery to remove the implant. Now I am living with one implant on one side. My question is that will the over-dissected crease ever be 'gone for good' now that the implant has been removed?
Avatar n tn I also got a mild case of hives, My doctor suggested it may have been an allergic reaction to stitches and that it would go away in few weeks when the tissues grew over the stitches. Yes it did all go away whithin a few weeks so now remembering that, I am wondering if maybe what i am experiencing now is an allergic reaction to the stitches in my mouth and not just pain from having the tooth pulled.

8526246 tn?1405601876 So I had my baby 8 days ago and had some minor tearing and got stitches. Well I finally found out where my stitches are a couple of days ago and in the worse way.... While taking a bm, they are right next to my bhole! Ahh! Has anyone ever had stitches like this before? How did you manage? I feel like I can't even handle my business in the restroom anymore and I'm even afraid to go to the restroom.

419792 tn?1208270826 My puppy cut her paw today so she had to get stitches, usually our vet is not very useful at giving recovery instructions, so I was wondering what I should be doing when she gets home? I'm assuming we need to try and keep the stitches clean so should we bandage it? Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
442027 tn?1209866342 Did anybody have stitches that were left to come out on there own??? I had my 2 week check up last Thursday May 1st and my surgeon told me he wanted me to start scrubbing my incision areas. I have the 6 little ones, because I had the daVinci robotic laparoscopic hyster. I was grossed out at the thought of scrubbing them, but I started yesterday and just sing a song in my head to keep my mind off what I'm doing. LOL Do the stitches REALLY come out completely by themselves??????????????

4194487 tn?1370046144 Ladies that have had stitches, how long did it take for yours to dissolve? Its been 9 days since ive given birth and i want them gone already lol!
Avatar m tn I went back to the Dr on Friday to get my stitches out and he said I need to leave them in for another week. He said he's afraid my incision would rip open. Has anyone else had this happen. He also said my tremors are not chiari related. I told him that they only had Parkinson's medicine for a week and he said that wasn't long enough to work it would have 3 weeks. So I need to see a neurologist to see if it is Parkinson's.
Avatar f tn I had my baby 3 wks ago and my stitches havent dissolved either, but i was told it could take as long as 5-6 weeks for them to completely be gone. I dont feel any problems with them so hopefully theyll go away on their own!
Avatar f tn had my period 6 weeks post partum. My stitches dissolved after 5 weeks.
