I got a couple of stitches on my chin about 10 days ago and was scheduled to get it removed/cut after a week. However, after a week, I realized that it has not dried up yet and decided to let it stay for a couple of more days. Today is the 10th day and it has already dried up. Will it be a painful procedure to get it removed tomorrow (11th day)?
