It's best to leave stitching up a wound to a medical professional. Usually it's roughly five stitches per inch, but it depends on the size of the wound and the size of the stitches as well.
A scab grows over the wound and then heals.
Stitches and staples are two methods by which a wound may be closed.
Sometimes the dissolvable stitches takes longer to dissolve. If it is external and accessible, just cut it and remove it. Deep sutures can be left and will eventually dissolve. If it causes recurrent problems with infection, the wound can be explored and stitches removed.
