Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that the white bumps could be related to an infection.
Anyway, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a panoramex (teeth x ray study to exclude possible residual peaces of teeth compressing the nerves from the surgery or for a possible infection)
- a brain MRI to exclude other possible causes of face numbness
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation).
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
