What Causes Red Bumps On Cheek After Tooth Extraction?
Yes i had a jaw tooth extracted two days ago and now i think i have a dry socket, but my main issue is that i now have red blotchy bumps on my cheek from my chin up to about eye level that kind of look like hives or something. Is this normal or should i be concerned about infection or.......?

Hello.thanks for sharing your problem at hcm.
Its not normal.you should immediately consult back your dentist.
In case of dry socket the treatment he will give you is irrigation,mild rebleeding,and placement of sedative dressing.
While red eruptions on cheek need to be diagnosed properly and treated ..so recounsult your dentist once again.
You can consult back for further querries.
Wish you good health .
