    I am a nurse and had a friend who is also a nurse remove them for me. You can always pay and go to urgent care to have them removed. It is not hard you just need the right kind of scissors and remember to keep the areas clean and dry.

    Best of luck to you,

    I removed my own stitches. I was scared at first but I didn't feel a thing. Also get the some butterfly bandages to put on the wounds after removing the stitches.
