Hey, my friend got stitches , but is complaing that their hand (where the stitch is) is being pulled to the left side.

See, they have a cut on the side of their wrist/palm and they said that when they try to move it their wrist gets pulled the opposite direction. Is that normal?

Answers:

it's totally normal. scar tissue contracts, so it's going to pull a bit. if they're concerned about the way it's pulling, once it's healed, surgery can cut the scar perpendicularly and stretch it back out. for the short term, though, i would put Neosporin on it to keep it soft and it won't pull as much.
