I have 1 stitch on my lip. The cut was pretty bad, but after about 24hours after the stitch was put on it finally has stopped all bleeding. Everything is dried now. However, the entire area around the stitch is black, so I have almost half my lip dark red/black, it looks frighteningly ugly to be honest.
There is no pain. Should I be worried? How do I fix this?
Dried blood is black.... is it within normal parameters?

It got inside and around the wound because you are wounded and it is not out of the ordinary for an area with a wound or stitches to be discolored or bruised because of the physical trauma to the area.
If you are concerned seek the opinion of your Doctor to calm your concerns.
thanks everyone. my wife took it out without any problems. also, as i'm typing this now, basically all the black is gone
