Help! My sewing machine is jamming up.

I’m looking for some perspective from anyone here who might have a bit more medical intuition or perhaps dealt with something similar. 😘

I recently underwent a minor procedure—just a routine mole removal on my back. Everything went smoothly enough; a few stitches, I had the sutures removed recently, and all that. However, now that the scab has finally fallen off and the fresh tissue is visible, it looks like there’s a tiny fragment of suture material still poking out from where they closed the wound.
It isn't painful by any means, and you can barely see it, but if I happen to touch that specific spot on my back, I can definitely feel it. 😳

Someone mentioned that the thread might just dissolve and work its way out on its own, but I can't help feeling a little uneasy about it. I'm planning to swing by my doctor's office in the next few days just to have them take a look.

Am I just being overly paranoid here, or is it wiser to get a professional opinion? 😕

Thanks!

Yeah, better safe than sorry—better call the doctor just in case! :-)

You can honestly get that done in about two seconds at any local urgent care clinic.

I pulled out about 8 inches of thread... doctor told me he would’ve done the exact same thing if I’d actually shown up to see him instead of DIYing it.

I actually have dissolvable threads in my nose—and no, they didn't opt for permanent removal (I asked)—simply because the recovery process isn't exactly a walk in the park... why go through the hassle of surgery when you can just use threads that naturally dissolve within ten to fifteen days?

So, waiting for the meltdown 😉 😁

My thanks to everyone for the input!

In the end, I decided to head over there anyway, and my sister managed to patch up the hole using some kind of filler 😁

It was a stroke of luck that the thread wasn't just a measly 20 cm long 😳
