A member asked:

I had a atypical nevus removed yesterday with around 10 or 12 stiches i'm concerned with busting them when i move any advice? in my back

Careful: Usually when you have stitches and pull on them hard enough to burst them it is painful. If you just be careful and try not to overstretch the area you should be fine.
