Try super glue. NO JOKE. They use it in emergency rooms sometimes. It will just wear off after a week or so. Plus it looks better than stitches. Call the hospital if you don't believe me and make sure it's safe.

Why would you remove stitches? Well at any rate it's done. First I would make sure it stays clean, depending on the depth of the injury at this point, use hydrogen peroxide mixed half and half with sterile water and rinse. Let AIR dry and apply strip band aid or make them out of regular band aids A strip that is narrow over the cut and wider on both end.
THEN IMMEDIATELY MONDAY SEE/CALL YOUR DOCTOR. I'm assuming cost is the reason you have not rushed back to the hospital.
I don't know about your area but in my area, alot of the Walgreens have emergency services there some 24 hours a day or at least on week ends. They don't have a doctor but they have a nurse practitioner

you can buy some butterfly stitches at the drug store. usually if the injury breaks back open there's no need to restitch because it heals from the inside out so it wont really need stitches

take a piece of medical tape and hold it together. it will grow back. they wont restitch it since it was stiched once. I had this happen to my knee once and we just used medical tape to hold it together. U may also be able to buy the stitch glue they have out. It will also hold it. Good Luck

It virtually seems such as you well-known practitioner isn't experienced at this. Did you circulate to a dermatologist? in case you have subject concerns over the weekend, circulate to an pressing care medical institution. lots extra cost-effective than ER. ER is for all times threatening subject concerns.

Well first of all, YOU removed them?? Go back to the Doctor, immediately. If they can't restitch them, they'll most likely put a butterfly bandage on it..and this time, LEAVE it alone!!!

Try using super glue to pull it back together, depending on where the cut is.

The best thing to do is check with a doctor.
