It could be, and sounds like, your body is reacting to the material they've used to stitch you up. Without seeing it though I can't be sure but that is a relatively common problem. Get it looked at as the reaction can keep worsening and cause problems such as the swelling tightening the stitches which could lead to the stitches becoming embedded into your skin.

It could also be that the holes that the stitches are coming out of are infected but unless they sutured you with dirty instruments/ old suture material then this shouldn't be happen unless you've got the wound dirty of course and then it might
