A member asked:
Bit by a dog 3 months ago. is it normal to still feel numbness in my upper lip. i had 15 stitches under nose to lip. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: Possibly permanent. 15 stitches is pretty good laceration. Possible one of your nerves could be permanently damage. However, nerves can take time to come in and it may be that over the next 3 months your feeling will come back.
