Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I got bit by a dog a week ago and got my lip stitched up. I got 2 on the inside of the wound which are dissolvable.  My other ones were taken out yesterday, but I still see the end of one sticking out. Could they have missed this one or is it a dissolvable one?
[|AI|]  Hi I do care for your concern. It is advisable to take full course of post exposure prophylaxis for rabies. Now regarding the suture. The external sutures have been removed, the internal one is said to be absorbable. It will take somewhere 3 weeks to 3 months for the substance to get completely dissolved. If it is bothersome then consult your physician and get removed the small protruding part.  Hope I have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.
