[|Human|] HI, I had keyhole surgery just over two weeks ago and had an ovarian cyst removed, the surgeons used dissolvable stitches and the area around one part is a bit red, but has scabs forming, should I got to my GP to get them removed or just leave be? Thanks
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Some amount of scab formation is known to take place even with use of dissolvable sutures in keyhole (laparoscopic) surgeries. However, the extent of scab formation (keloid) would vary from person to person. In case it has formed bigger, and you have cosmetic reasons to get its removal, it would be best removed by a Plastic Surgeon. In case, it is not bothering you much, it would be advisable to leave it as it is as it would not harm you in any way. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
