Dear Nina,

I am not sure what your incision, wound or scar looks like and without you sending me some pictures via email, its impossible to go by just a description.

What I can tell you is that mole removals from the nose or ear depend are followed by closure with a layered closure.  Plastic surgeons place 2 to 3 layers of suture deep below the skin to remove the tension off the skin itself.  That way, the sutures on the skin aren't working that hard to hold the edges together and can therefore be removed in 3-7 days in order not to leave suture marks on the skin.

The deep sutures are most often dissolvable although some surgeons use permanent sutures.

The ones on the skin can be dissolvable or permanent.  The suture placement and  thickness is as important as the suture material.  There are some areas that dissolvable work much better and other areas that permanent sutures yield better results.  The skin type (sebaceous or thin) is also important.

At the end of the day each patient heals differently.  Pain with suture removal may not necessarily be a sign of something going wrong.  It sounds like the surgeon used Silver Nitrate to burn something on you.

Again, the description is very vague and unless you email me pictures I cannot tell you much more.  You can see another surgeon for a 2nd opinion though to make sure you are healing in the right direction.

Good luck
