20 July 2013 - Removal of stitches

It have been a week since Javier fell and it's time to remove the stitches.  As any GP can do it, we decided to go to the clinic opposite our place.  The removal procedures looked simple and easy.  I can probably do it myself if I have those surgical scissors and pincers.

Here is a closer look at the wound after the stitches had been removed.  The doctor said that most likely there will be a scar.

He recommends to apply scar cream (strataderm) on it, which will help to lighten it.  Tracy happened to have one when she last visited the doctor for insect bites, which also left some scars on her leg.
