You should not remove stitches yourself even for minor surgeries. Because even though the incision of minor surgery is small and the process of removing stitches may seem simple, the hospital strictly implements aseptic operation, which not only has strictly sterilized stitches-removal instruments, disinfectant supplies and sterile areas, but also is professionally handled by doctors and nurses, greatly reducing the risk of infection. And the timing of suture removal needs to be decided after observation by medical staff. While removing stitches by yourself, the instruments and environment cannot be sterile, which may lead to bacteria invading into the body through the needle hole of removing stitches, resulting in causing secondary infection of the wound, leading to redness, swelling, heat and pain, and other inflammatory reactions of the wound. So you still need to go to the hospital by professional doctors, nurses to remove the stitches, and at the same time in two or three days after the removal of stitches in the needle eye is in an open state, you need to avoid getting wet, so as to reduce the possibility of infection.
