Posted on Fri, 11 Mar 2016

Question: I fell flat on the ground and bruised my face lips and have a cut on my lip. It was on a tile that I bruised my face on. I have been applying soframyckn and keeping it on all day.

Any other care that I can take. The cut is less than half inch deep on my lip, do we have an alternate for a stitch?

Brief Answer:
Take a surgeon consultation if lip injury is deep

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You can upload your photo for proper advice.
Usually small trauma heals on its own and not require any special treatment.
If the injury over lip is cosmetically bad then you may have to consult a surgeon or plastic surgeon.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

I have uploaded close up pics on the lip. And how long can I keep soframycin on? I have kept soframycin on all day and is that a good way to heal it. Any medication for quick recovery that you can suggest?
