Removal of one stitch right by my lip?!

Removal of one stitch right by my lip?

Very early yesterday (monday morning) I had one non-disolvable stitch put in right by my lip, towards the corner of my mouth. For several different reasons, including a lack of insurance and a very bad experience, I am not going back to the hospital to have it removed. It seems to be healing fine and I am keeping it clean in addition to putting triple antibiotic ointment on it. I would appreciate exact instructions on how to safely and most effectively remove it ( I am thinking Friday or Saturday). Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice. However, just to clarify I am not on an oral antibiotic; I am using triple antibiotic ointment..

Pretty simple. Keep up the antibiotics. Wait 5 to 10 days then snip the stitches at the base of each stitch. Best to have someone do it for you. Pull the strings out one at a time. Then again keep up the antibiotics for another 5 to ten days.
