my surgeon used dissolvable stitches

1 year and 3 months post op they have not dissolved and are STILL rejecting through my skin

any other dudes have this problem?

it mostly happens just on my nipples now....first 9 or 10 months post op it was both nipples and incision/scar line

they get a bump on them....then the bump gets bigger and starts to hurt and looks like a big pimple but kinda whitish with a yellow tint

then either i pop it or it bursts on its own and the stitch comes out of it

super disgusting

anyone know the reason why some guys body dont dissolve the stitches?

i got scars on my nipples now from all the stitches getting infected and forcing themselves out of my skin

just took a shower and one came out
I wasn't holding it open for you, who holds the door open for a man?!?

Well I thought it was a nice gesture....BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG!!!!!

Ouch....I just had surgery 2 weeks ago but all of my stitches are internal/disolvable stitches. Now I fear this happening lol

the chances are probably slim...ive talked to many post op trans guys who had dissolvable stitches and only 2 had the same problem i did

I have a friend who this happened to. It eventually resolved but took a long time, much longer than it took me to heal and I had surgery after he did. But it did eventually heal. His channel is here. I thought I could find the videos about this problem right away but I can't. You would need to watch some and so on. But he does talk about it.
