A member asked:

Can i take my stitches out two days early? the skin seems healed. it's from having a basal cell carc. removed from my cheek under my eye.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There's a reason to keep the sutures in that long. I also prefer taking them out myself so that i can carefully evaluate the surgical site. I'll sometimes prescribe an ointment for a few days.
