I recently purchased DT's m31 and implanted as close to cassox's guide as I could. Two weeks in (not thinking) I grabbed someone's arm and they ripped their arm away which tore open the scab on my implant site, now there is a piece of scab in my finger, should I take it out or leave it in?

    Sorry I haven't responded, been on vacation. Turns out it wasn't a scab but instead it was my magnet through some very thin and clear tissue. Anyway, I foolishly didn't suture when I implanted and the magnet came out. Going to implant on another finger with sutures this time.
