NO. A doctor needs to evaluate the suture site to determine if the incision has healed enough for the sutures to be removed or not. Or, if the site is infected, the doctor will prescribe medication to clear the infection.

Yeah, just keep it sterile and be gentle. I suggest clean nail clippers to cut them, tweezers to pull them out. And peroxide to clean the area before and after
