On April 5th, I was bitten by a dog, NO, not by sweet baby boy, Sam.
I received 4 stitches at the ER.
Today, being 4/14 is still does open up and seep blood, not any other color than blood red.
When should I have the stitches removed? Frankly, I don't want to sit at the DR's office to hear them say, leave them in a bit longer.
I had the antibiotic "augmentin" for 7 days.
Swelling has gone down considerably, but the movement of my hand and fingers seems to open it up again, just in small areas.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
TIA,
