Anyone get their scalp punched yet?

[AuntieAnne]

So I had a scalp punch biopsy recently & am getting the stiches out on Thursday, 6/25....it will have been 2 weeks since the biopsy by then. I'm not into pain. Can anyone share what it was like when their stiches were removed?

I didn't find the removal painful, but mine was unfortunately removed by a nurse-in-training who cut chunks of my hair along with the stiches! The headache following the biopsy was the worst part - along with waiting for an answer!!! Honestly, the stitches removal was not painful.

OK--thanks for the quick reply. Good to know it's nothing major. I'm the wimp who gets laughing gas every 6 months for a dental cleaning...so the biopsy was a major deal for me. Thanks to your info, I won't be anxious about the stiches being removed. :)
