Re: Stitch removal. Keep the stitches moist with Aquaphor or Vaseline, it helps the PA when she or he clips and eases out the outer stitches with tweezers. The inner stitches are in my experience left in to dissolve on their own sweet time (keeps the wound together). Usually quick and painless.

Always use the good stuff ... I remember my last one specifically told me not to use Vaseline (or WD40
 ) but Polysporin, etc. instead ...

My surgeon has always recommended Aquaphor, but the last few times added Hydrocolloid patches.
Apparently, you need to be careful w/ these as they are great for the wound but not so great for surrounding skin, so you trim them to be as small as possible and shaped to cover just the wound.
