Law of Barrier in Stitches
Question
A woman with stitches after removing a mole, is there a solution for immersion [she removed it by mistake a day before immersion and needs to remove the stitches after 14 days]?
Answer
Stitches that do not dissolve on their own are a barrier to immersion. Since they are considered something that one is particular about, and they are meant to be removed.
