What Is The Cure For The Lump In The Lip Caused Due To Stitches?
I fainted and landed on my front teeth which cut into my lip. I received 7 stitches. I had the stitches removed and now I have this hard lump inside my lip. I suspect this is scar tissue and some people have told me I have to keep rubbing it to get it absorbed by my body and have it go away. Is this correct?
