Patient's question:
I have had a circumcision surgery for a month, and the stitches haven't fallen off yet. Moreover, there is pus oozing from the needle. What could be the reason, and how should it be handled?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed to be a small pustule, you can leave it alone. Applying Bacitracin can help it dissipate. It will not spread. If it is a suture body with an allergic reaction, it will be expelled. And since you are using absorbable sutures, they will be absorbed.
