Minnie,

I had cellulitus and a severe reaction to the material used in sutures. A friend who is a plastic surgen told me that she no longer uses a particular type of suture because of adverse reactions. If you want to know the type of suture send me a private message and I will contact her for more information. You may want to have your Dr. look into this.
