How long should stitches be in?
The Doctor Who put them in will be able to best judge how long they need to be left in, but on average stitches on the face should be left in for 3-5 days, stitches on the body or scalp 7-10 days, and stitches on extremities 10-14 days. When a stitch is put in on a joint like the elbow or knee, the wound will take longer to heal and stitches should be left in for a full two weeks. Stitches being left in for too long risk infection and painful extraction and stitches removed too soon can result in the wound opening up again.

What does fan stitch mean?
In crochet, a fan stitch is a group of stitches worked into one stitch. In most cases the stitches would be a combination of chains and stitches. For example, you might work double crochets separated by chain stitches or you might work 4 double crochets, a chain, and then another 4 double crochets. It doesn't have to be 4. It can be any number. The stitches should look similar to a paper fan or scallop. If the pattern calls for multiple rows of fan stitches, they are generally placed one on top of the other. Fan stitches can be small or large and incorporate any number of stitches, but the individual stitches are all worked into one stitch from the previous row.

Can you swim if you have stitches in your forehead?
Doctors recommend avoiding swimming while you have stitches. You should wait until the wound has healed and the stitches are removed.
Can you skateboard with stitches?
It kind of depends on where the stitches are. As long as the stitches are somewhere that they won't be stretching and pulling, you should be okay. If it is somewhere where the skin will be stressing during the boarding, hold off until they are removed. It hurts like crazy to have stitches rip, and it will mess the wound up even worse. Also, keep in mind if it is somewhere you are likely to scrape on the concrete or asphalt if you trip or bust, you are likely to mess them up too. If they are on a hand or knee, you might also want to hold up. Be careful not to sweat the stitches all up. The area needs to stay clean and dry.

Do dissolvable stitches that break through an incision in a total knee replacement need to be removed by a doctor?
Dissolvable stitches that break through an incision after a total knee replacement typically do not need to be removed by a doctor. These stitches are designed to dissolve on their own over time. However, if there is excessive bleeding, signs of infection, or any concerns about the incision site, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation. Always follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions for the best outcome.
