A member asked:
I got dissolvable stiches in my lip for a dog bite a couple days ago - top one has come undone but has made virtually no difference - is this okay?

Keep area clean: This can occur. Use a topical antibacterial ointment after gently cleaning the area. Pat dry before applying ointment. You can be evaluated for a steristrip placement by your physician.watch for signs of infection such as redness or infection.
