Question 1

hi. i had a bad accident in which my both lips got severe injury and i had got stitches inside my lips.now its been 2 weeks,stitches are dissolving but i've developed lumps inside my both lips and i cant even smile properly.are these lumps permanent?

Accepted Answer

: The lumps are likely a part of the healing process. As long as the lumps are getting smaller, you may watch and wait. If there is pain, discharge or ulceration, it would be prudent to see your doctor.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 2

i got a spit lip  9 weeks ago that needed stitches and now there is a hard lump scar wich makes my lip look fat. will that soffen and go away in time?

Accepted Answer

Possibly : Scarring can take a while for that to heal. If there is pain or if it does does not look right i would probably see the doctor that did the stitches and if not see a plastic surgeon have a nice day.

Question 3

i have stitches on my lip three days ago how do i reduce the swelling?

Accepted Answer

The: Stitches should be out soon . Try ice over them to reduce swelling

Question 4

my 2 yr old daughter was bitten by a dog a week ago. she got two stitches right under her lip. what can i put on it to reduce the scar? mederma?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Oh, poor baby!  Sure Mederma is fine to use nightly on the scar.  During the day be sure to use a good zinc oxide sunscreen on the area to be sure and avoid sunburn, which will just exacerbate the problem area.

Question 5

i got stitches yesterday on my bottom lip because my tooth punctured it i have a red bump by the stitches is it a bruise how long will it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Be patient: The lip is very well vascularized and usually heals quickly.  The bump could be edema, blood or a swelling in relationship to the pattern of the bite you suffered.  Give it a few days.

Question 6

a couple of weeks ago i had sinus surgery.(head sinus drained) now theres a massive bump where the stitches used to be and i have a lot of pain ?

Accepted Answer

Stitch reaction: This is a very common reaction where the body tries to attack is stitch as if it’s a foreign body, which of course it is. Then scar tissue can develop so I recommend your surgeon inject kenalog into the area to prevent scar tissue development and reduce inflammation

Question 7

i have a reddish bump in the middle of my eyebrows it feels watery but has no head it is a little painful what shouldn't do to reduce the lump and red?

Accepted Answer

Eyebrow mass: This could be something within the skin or in the tissues below it. See an otolaryngologist (ENT) or a dermatologist for care, as this may get worse with time.

Question 8

i had all my teeth removed 2 days ago and have stitches all throughout my mouth i still have a lot of sweling how can i reduce it can i use hot or cold?

Accepted Answer

Follow up: We can't be too specific, sight-unseen, but 2 days post-op some swelling is pretty typical. Depending on how many teeth were recently extracted and the levels of infection that may have been present, it could be expected or not. If you have concerns, have the dentist take a look and advise you on possible treatments and meds that are appropriate for your situation.

Question 9

is it normal to have a brown skin lump from having stitches?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any trauma to skin including sutures can cause pigmentation and scar formation. See a plastic surgeon if this bothers you.

Question 10

child split lip will require stitches or no?

Accepted Answer

Maybe,maybe not: Generally, if the cut is limited to the red of the lips, it is ususlly left open to self heal.Bacteriostatic factors in saliva keep it from festering. If the cut crosses over into the junction between facial skin and the red , stitches may be needed to line up the edges and prevent healing in a jaged line.
