A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
