Sutures

Postby iwantanewone » Mon May 02, 2022 7:23 pm

Anyone remember how long it takes for the sutures to dry up after surgery. I assume they are super tight and uncomfortable………

Not super tight.
As I remember, the sutures don't dry up, they gradually dissolve. My scrotal sutures were covered with an epoxy-like glue and gone by 6 weeks post-op. (warm showers felt SO good)
