Will The Lip Stitches Area Lump Heal By Itself?
In Mid June I fainted in the bathroom and hit my head on the counter, I bit through the area right under my bottom lip. I received 21 stitches and they remained in for a week, I received both removable stitches and dissolvable ones. Now there is still what seems to be a bubble in the area, it s a big red bump where I got the stitches, will this heal up and go back to normal, or do I need another surgery to correct this? Also as a side note, when I feel around the region on the inside of my mouth, where I received the stitches in there, it feels like a big bump.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your lower lip. You got stitched the wound. Now after healing you feel a bump outside and also inside. It will gradually reduce in size and probably become near normal after 6months. It can be better assessed by clinical examination. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
