Suggest Medication For Swelling On Forehead Due To Stitches ?
My dad had stitches removed from his head last Friday, following the removal of a cancerous mole on his forehead. This means 4 days have passed and there is swelling on the ends of where the stitches began. Just wondering what we could do or if it's a bad sign? Please help. Thanks

ya this could be omnious sign. this can be due to incomplete removal of mole. there should be wide excision of mole, not restricted to mole itself. I think, its better to contact the surgeon, who has operated.
