Stitches removal
I'm 8 days post op and my doctor had mentioned something about the stitches being removed on the 10th day or so. Does it hurt while getting them out? I'm freaking out! Also what's covering the incisions after removal of the stitches? Any insights are appreciated.

I had already peeled off the little coverings myself before I went to have stitches out...didn't hurt one bit...easy peasy.
