You should not take : Sutures out the doctor should. Typically they stay in for about three weeks.

Usually 3 weeks: The incision needs to be evaluated by a physician to determine there are no signs of infection and that it has healed as expected. Usually it takes 3 weeks for an incision on the bottom of the foot to heal.
