I just had a dysplastic lesion removed from the right rear side of my tongue (size of a dime or so). The doctor stitched it up -- 7 stitches -- and since the procedure 24 hours ago, four of the stitches have popped out! It's not bleeding, but is very swollen and I don't know what to do. I've put in a call and sent photos to the doc and am waiting for a call back. Main question: Should I be super-concerned about this, or is this considered normal, or what? Anyone with this kind of experience?
