Is Tiny, Flesh Colored Bump Near The Area Of Wisdom Tooth Extraction And On Bottom Back Molar Abscess?
I just had one wisdom tooth extracted non-surgically eight days ago. I noticed today that I now have a tiny flesh-colored bump by the extraction site and another on my bottom back molar where my wisdom tooth is trying to come in. Is this an abscess? What can I do about this?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This flesh colored bump can be nothing just a healing socket, actually when healing takes place, granulation tissue is formed which is red in colour and it fills the socket. But if it is painful then it is a matter of concerned, otherwise it is ok.
Other bump on the lower side can be because of erupting wisdom tooth only.
Hope it will help you.
