I spent six hours in the ER yesterday because the middle stitch in my left palm came out.  While I was there, I was told the spreading infection in my hand caused the stitch to pop.  Since I didn't even know I had an infection,  it was actually a stroke of luck that the stitch did come out.

The center of the palm of my hand has turned very dark purple, almost black, and the mound on flesh next to my thumb has turned bright red.  And the damn thing hurts worse now than when it first happened.
