A member asked:
Had mole removed 4 weeks ago, stitches have been removed but looks like nurse has left parts of the stitches in the skin. should i just leave them ?

Call the doc: The stitches, it not dissolvable, may get overgrown by your skin causing a chronic irritation around the foreign body, so it is best to have your doctor check the suture area to assure all are gone.
