no i think your actually supposed to go to a doctor to get them removed.
Some, usually internal ones, are meant to dissolve when the tissue has time to repait itself.
External sutures usually require removal by a doctor or his/her nurse. If they come undone ahead of time, call the doctor's office and ask if you need to be seen there, or if you can just put butterfly bandages on. Keep an eye on your suture line. Watch for any redness, swelling, heat or drainage. Also report to doctor, and if you have a date to have your sutures removed, go. They can grow into the skin sometimes and then it hurts when they take them out. Be a good observer and repoter to be a good advocate for yourself.
