A dissolvable stitch will be absorbed by the body, and won't require removal. They were historically made from organic material, however modern absorbable stitches are synthetic.

Due to major knee surgery, i have dissolvable stitches myself. Its been about a month and my surgen still says i cant fully submerge my knee underwater. Also, every responce on google says to wait ATLEAST a month. But, the best thing for you to do would be to just ask the doctor who gave you the stitches.
Sometimes the dissolvable stitches takes longer to dissolve. If it is external and accessible, just cut it and remove it. Deep sutures can be left and will eventually dissolve. If it causes recurrent problems with infection, the wound can be explored and stitches removed.
It can rip the stitches
Dissolvable stitches usually start to degenerate a week after your operation and then continue to do so. Once you are allowed to bathe then soaking them in a bath will speed up the process BUT remember they are there to stop the wound reopening and getting infections. If they haven't disappeared after 4 weeks visit your doctor to see if he will remove them.
So far a dissolvable losartan is not available.
Temporary stitches, or dissolvable stitches, are put in place by a doctor to fix a cut or surgical incision. Three uses for them are after a vaginal delivery if the woman tore during childbirth, to close up a cut on an internal organ, and in many veterinary surgeries.
