I'm glad that you are doing well after this. Things like this can be a real scare as we age. My wife had a large cyst right near her bikini line on her right thigh when I met her.

After we married and she had my insurance, I told her to go to the doctor and get it checked out and removed. I also developed a small growth on my left forehead that seemed suspicious. I feared that it might be skin cancer.

It turned out that they both were non cancerous warts. But still one has to wonder how a wart (contagious) could migrate from her right thigh to my left forehead. She stills denies the possibilty while I know that it's true.

Food for thought. Heal well Sean.

He he he..

You asked for it Jerry ;D

I have cropped out a small section of the actual pic so you can only see the stitches. I think the whole pic is a little too graphic for the forum {:-P;;

Sean

PS, two of the stitches have come out on their own now so I don't even know if the last one will make it to my appointment next week. It's healing very well and I do not think the stitches are needed anymore.

LOL...

LuAnn, I took the photo myself in the mirror lol

Getting the stitches out inst a problem though, the knots couldnt have been very tight or the ends were cut too short because the first one came out on the second or third day and the second one came out today as I was scratching around the area and caught it with my finger. I didnt even feel the second one come out, I just felt the thing on my finger.

Well you know us guys, we scratch everywhere ::)

At least if it is itchy it is a good sign that it is healing.

Never fails, when I get stitches, I can't seem to keep them in.  I'm always popping them.  Looks like you have an adhesive allergy.  That could be why your itchy.  Paper tape and guaze is the only thing that wont give me that red rash.  Your going to have a cute dimple where the stitches popped  :D

That's too funny Sean...never thought of the mirror trick   {:-P;;   But I love to take out stitches, why go to the doctor when all you have to do is snip the knot and pull?  I love pulling teeth too...my granddaughters are in fear whenever their teeth get loose lol    I wish their mother wouldn't scare them like that!  :D

Sean, I hope the 'lily pad' they removed from your butt is harmless. It's a good thing you have it taking care of early on, I am sure it will be good news when you go in to have the stitches remove.

 O0 Yes, annoying but true. I wonder why?

I'm glad you're feeling better, thanks for the butt shot   :), and I hope your biopsy comes back with nothing.
