How Can I Lubricate My Lips?
I had small cyst removed from my lower lip yesterday. I woke up this morning and the stiches is black. Looks like there's some dried blood on it. I'm having a touch time opening my lip, difficulty eating and brushing my teeth. My lip looks very dry. What is the best product to use to lubricate my lip as well as to protect the stiches from tearing?
Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process?
