When a wound is infected it doesn't heal very well [I'm sure you know this]. The nurse needs to look at it and decide if they are ready to come out. When my partner has had vast amounts of staples and they are not sure if they are ready [due to infection or just slow healing] they sometimes take out a couple and see what it looks like.
It'll be up to them, but they need to see it first. Be prepared for either to happen.
