[|Human|] i was hit by a car 4 years ago and my elbow went through the windscreen. A c shaped flap of skin came away and they attached it back via stitches. After these were removed i think a bit of plastic from them is still stuck in the skin as there is a lump under the scar and it is sore. Is this possible and can it be removed?
