Does it hurt when you get stitches taken out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Most often you just feel a little tugging. Once in a while a stitch or staple might require a little more effort if skin has grown around it - that is why it is important to have them removed at the time the doctor specifies. Take care.
