<s>[INST] hi, Im 16 and was circumcised on the 12th feb 2014 , most of the stitches have gone hard and begun to scab but on one side the stitches seem to have popped, the bottom skin can be slightly retracted revealing some lighter coloured skin and a yellow(ish) substance seems to have oozed out, it does not act like a liquid but almost like a smooth scab that is moist to the touch, no pain or skin irritation are taking place (without direct contact of course) just wondering if this is at all normal... :/   I dont have a fever of feel unwell in any form btw... :) [/INST] Hi, Welcome. Nothing wrong in the stitches pop up spontaneously after 7-8 days after the surgery. If they had used catgut for stitching, it will automatically fall after or within 10 days. If they had used silk or nylon, you would have been instructed to come for hospital for removal of stitches. If you have any raw area or oozing, you better be reviewed by your surgeon once again and ascertain everything is alright. Mostly some external application of antimicrobial will restore normalcy. Get Well soon.  Chat Doctor. Morgan </s>
