Stitches that normally dissolve sometimes do not completely dissolve because:
1) You haven't waited long enough (common)
2) the doctor used the wrong kind of thread (very unlikely)
3) part of the tissue has grown over part of the stitch (common)
4) your body has not acted on the stitch material as expected (common)
