No: It takes awhile for the tissues to soften. Your body will probably heal that area for 2years. Your doctors will monitor area anyway to see if you need more treatment.

Not necessarily: It is nl to have some induration that lingers behind the healing of the inflammatory process. If concerned f/u with your doctor.
