A member asked:
Sutures removed 8hrs ago, where sutures where feels like its being stabbed with a rusty knife, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: After removal of sutures the involved area should feel like it did before the sutures were removed. If there is a new pain it's possible there could be a wound infection or some other cause. See your physician
