Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump formation on lips which is due to punched injury. Need not to panic about it. This is normal mechanism of healing as collagen tissue is getting formed and it will take around 3-4 weeks for granulation tissue to form incompletely. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Apply Dologel on finger and massage on lip surface. Apply desi ghee as well. Visit oral pathologist once and go for complete examination if symptoms keeps on persisting. Take painkiller and antihistamine drug combination. Drink plenty of water. Yes it will heal back to normal. You can go for facial aesthetic reconstruction if required.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
