∙ 14y agoI don't know if you are asking why it would hurt, or if it does actually hurt, so I'll address both. Stitches may or may not hurt while removed, depending on the type of injury and the quality of healing of the injury. Most of the time, it doesn't really hurt as much as it itches when they are removed (a side-effect of the swelling of the tissue around the injury, and histamine, which is a fluid the body releases into the tissue in order to facilitate healing. It's also the chemical that causes you to sneeze when you have Allergies). It COULD hurt when stitches are removed, for a couple of reasons. First, if you have an injury in a highly vascular area (one with a lot of bloodflow), it could be that the swelling around where the injury is healing is compressing on nerves, which could cause pain. The other main reason it could hurt is that the injury has become infected and, thus, more inflammed than it should be. This would cause noticeable redness and tenderness around the area--and, in the case of progressive infection, could also cause red streaking under the skin in the immediate area of the injury. It would likely also cause some puss discharge. A less-likely reason the stitches hurt when removed could be that they were either placed incorrectly or are being removed incorrectly. If done by a medical professional, this is quite unlikely, but not impossible.

∙ 12y agoWhen you get stiches taken out, it doesnt hurt much, but you can feel a small pinch evert now and then. I know because i broke my arm 4 times and the very first time i got stiches. Then i broke the other arm three times and on the third time my arm needed stiches.

Does it hurt to get stitches taken out of your lip i got 2 stitches in my lip from getting hit with a baseball and it didn't hurt getting stitches in does it hurt getting them out by a doctor?
To some extent it will for a second. When stitches are removed there is a little tug of the stitch as it is taken out. You can feel it, but it isn't as bad as when the stitch was put in. I had 8 taken out recently and was glad to have them out since they started to pull a little on the area where they were.
