Just had the stitches removed today.

Just an FYI:

A short while ago, I had posted about getting a lipoma removed from my forehead. For those of you interested, the surgery was Wednesday and the stitches just came out today. I’m in no pain whatsoever and the cut was only 1/2 inch. The lipoma was a little deeper than expected and they had to dig a little bit to remove it. They also had to remove it in pieces. I felt nothing, and it was much less traumatic than when I had my teeth pulled.

Lipoma? Are you sure it wasn’t that pesky third eye or chakra or something? I never really am quite sure where that thing is supposed to be.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Now remember keep it clean and moisturized to minimize scarring–plain vaseline will do. Oh and don’t pick!

Removal of stitches tickles :slight_smile:

i bet it was really a pineal gland. you know how those things go crazy every once in a while. at least the surgeon didn’t have to bite it out!!

BTW, vitamin E will also help reduce scarring, and try to stay out of the sun for a while until it’s healed. glad it was nothing serious!!

Thanks for the tips. What’s amazing is that it doesn’t even hurt right now, and I’m not on any pain medication.
