PDS sutures--stats of how people react to it

[mandalala]

My body has rejected internal sutures three times in the past--I think the term my dermatologist used was that I was "spitting" the sutures--from the removal of questionable moles.  Anyway, the first two times were done at the same time, the internal sutures worked their way out and I got a horrible infection and now have a nasty keloid.  The third time, the doctor used different internal sutures, and again they worked their way out, slight infection and not as nasty of a keloid.  I have asked NOT to use internal sutures at all--this is a mole removal, I don't see why it's necessary, and have had 6 others removed without internal sutures.  He wants to try a PDS suture, now.  I am trying to figure out if I should find another doctor.  

If people have a history of rejecting internal sutures, what are the chances that it will happen with a PDS suture?  Or, what percentage of people that get PDS sutures reject them?

if your body does not handle internal sutures well, please find another doctor to go to who will not use them on you. it most likely will happen again, so personally, I would not go forward with using the PDS sutures.
