I've had at least two procedures where they did "inside" stitches with dissolvable material (one guy called them catgut stitches, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually made of catgut) to get around this. They stitched the bottom of the gash together, then another layer higher up, then finally closed the top of the wound.

Oh, suck it up. Or...you can just suck it. Either way, your reply sucked. . . . (I'm just kidding, sucker!)

Isn't that what they would do for a c section?

And also the removal of a suspicious mole, apparently.

well, no--it's really the piece of jewelry in there. and epsom salts are NOT the same chemical, and NOT used for soaking piercings.

yesterday I had the edge of a toenail removed and cauterized because it was ingrowing, the main aftercare is to soak in epsom salts 3 times a day.
I've never used epsom salts before, I vaguely understand they work against infection, but is the point for it to heal 'open'.

also soak your feet for 20 minutes 3 times a day, great advice, wholly impractical

epsom salts are good for some things; like soaking your feet. Supposed to dissolve bunions or something I forget. Taking a bath in epsom salts--great!

Not good for piercings though.
