>>I also have a small infection by my frenulum, should I remove those stitches too? or should I let the infection heal first, then remove the stitches?
>Your stitches should really be popping open about now. However, since you seem to have an infection I would suggest you go to your doctor and get something for that, and also have him take a look at the stitches.
>Good luck.
