A member asked:
Does a granuloma caused by dissolvable sutures require surgical removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely yes: Depends - anytime the suture is exposed and within an infected granuloma, it is best to remove it as the half life of the current day dissolvable sutures is quite long.
