You should have taken them out by now! There is a risk of infection if you leave it! If the stitches can still be seen then the doctor should be able to take them out without difficulty! x

One week to ten days depends on your injury. Go to your doctor and have them removed while you can still see them. At this time they sound like there starting grow into your skin.

they are only suppose to be in for 2 weeks tops they may have to cut them out instead of the easier removal. why did you leave them in so long?
