Stitches worry?

I had a surgery on my scrotum extending to the middle of my shaft. It's been 2 weeks today and the dissolveable sutures have started falling out but some of them look like they are being enveloped by my skin and one has already been enveloped completely. Will this produce a scar or will dissolveable sutures dissolve before then. The wound is already healed enough to produce a scar

    Soluble stitches, when used on the surface, should actually be physically removed after 10-12 days to prevent 'stitch tunnels' and speed up healing.

    You may need to cut the stitches with scissors and pull them out with tweezers.

    So ring the surgery and speak to the surgeon if possible.

    And ask him.
