if it is, in fact, silk it is a braided suture which makes bacterial infection more likely than if it had been nylon. Bacteria get into the little interstices as the suture is actually made up of many many different threads.
You will probably wind up with a small abscess or you may notice a suture reaction with a "pimple' like looking area that drains.
If you are lucky even though it sounds like silk it will really have been nylon as its rare anyone closes anything with silk anymore because it causes much more of a reaction.
