I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?

No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.

I've got these warts on my face and they're starting to get bigger every day. I had a dermatologist remove one before, but it ended up costing me around six thousand. Is that a normal price for this kind of procedure, or is it a bit steep? Also, what can I do to prevent new ones from appearing in the future?
