Removing stitches
Hello I got 8 stitches in my knee 2 weeks ago. It has fully scabbed over and covering 2 of the stitches and I'm wondering do I remove the scab? The knots are in/under the scab. The other 6 we're very easy. The gash was deep so I'm nervous of removing the scab for infection. I'm on antibiotics and have been for 2 weeks. What do I do?
