Is it possible for a suture to remain under my scar?

Yes it is entirely possible.  Your body will rejet it on its own, no intervention is needed.  My mum had this and it took the stitch 2 years to come out (but it was a very deep stitch, not a surface stitch).

If you have the type of skin the keloids, then a plastic surgeon can do a revision of the scar.  You can then go back for steroid injections to keep that scar from keloiding.  Other than that there is nothing that can be done for it.

If it is just a small scrape yes. If you are going to have a scar and it was bigger than a scrape then it might not right away or at all.

The tissue of the scar are trying to regenerate.  The blister is part of the process of healing, since underneath is only water inside the big hole. It will go down in matter of time.

Maybe the chance of reopening the incision,,,just give ur body time to get healed....

injuries just under the skin can also sometimes not leave scars, but this is variable, one big factor is also infection, keep it clean and dry, use moisturisers on the skin, ensure it does not get infected, good luck

Because usually the scar has not healed internally.  It may look healed but it's not.

That is up to your surgeon, not  you. Sorry. Give his nurse a call, she'll/he'll have the correct answer for you, not us, anyway,haha.

If you weren't treated by a physician when it happened now would be a good time. If you were treated but the wound has become infected you should place a call to your doctor. With a cut that deep he may order antibiotics. You could be putting yourself at risk of a deep tissue infection like cellulitis. Nothing to fool around with. If your doctor is not available I'd suggest an urgent care clinic or the emergency room.

sub, as in under\nq as in cutaneous\n\nin short, a deep stitch.  If the suture material is absorbable, then it should absorb over time.  It would be unlikely that a doctor would use a permenant stitch placed "sub-cu", though I have seen it.\n\nthe knots take the longest to absorb, for obvious reasons, and because skin seems to tolerate suture material when it is not "broken down" by the act of tying knots.  When knots are tied, some of the suture material breaks off, and can cause a small inflamatory nodule.

from experience (with my husband) i would say no never had that problem  ...maybe if you gain so much weight then lost it really fast i would think that the skin would hang like the ones that get surgery but so far mine is intact...lol

Hi, I am 47 and I recently had an operation to remove my blocked lymph node, also in my right armpit. The operation was done quickly with an anaesthetic injected into my armpit. No fuss, quick cut, quick scratch out, disinfectant (flush out). They do not stitch under your arm because of the fear of infection. After the operation, you have to flush the wound each morning and evening or more often if need be,  with hot water (as hot as you can bear) and then disinfect the wound with alchohol or suitable equivalent! Cover the wound lightly with lint and use a plaster (each time you flush) to fix it in place under your arm. After a couple of weeks, the "operation hole" closes naturally, and you are left with a little scar of about 1cm!\n\nI understand your thoughts fully though, I thought exactly the same..oh no..cancer, so I went straight to the emergency unit here in Switzerland and left without the lump after about 2 hours, most of which was waiting time!\n\nBut, I am not a doctor, so the best you can do is consult your GP first of all! Good luck!

You can go to a doctor and have it burnt off or froze off.  My mom doesn't have a scar and she had hers burnt off.  But that was a mole on her back.  A plastic surgeon can work wonders for all areas though!

It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

Try Neosporin. If you treat it quickly I've found that it wont scar as bad. If it does leave a scar, use cocoa butter on a daily basis, which should lighten it up

It depends if you are re-piercing in the same spot if you are the scar tissue will create a infection in most cases. If you are piercing around the edges of your bellybutton you are now getting into surface piercing which is hard to clean
