I got my stitches taken out on monday and today(thursday) after looking at my nose there is a small, black, piece of my stitches that wasn't taken off my nostril. These are not dissolvable stitches and i'm really stressed out about it. I'm only 17 so i asked my mom and she told me to just pull it out with tweezers. i disinfected some tweezers and tried to do it several times but it hurt and i couldn't get it out. I have an appointment to go see my surgeon in a week. Can i just wait until then? My mom won't take me earlier since the office is two hours away. I'm kind of freaking out..
