bean. Help!? Three weeks ago, I tripped and cut my lip on the corner of a table. My lip was cut on the inside (by the table) and the outside (by my teeth). I received several stitches inside my lip and on my face. Now, the swelling is gone and the stitches have been removed and there is only a tiny scar on my face. However, there is still a hard knot on the inside of my lip, that’s about the size of a bean. It’s really annoying. When I move my mouth it makes the scar on my face very obvious, and it sticks out a little on my face. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s kinda ugly. And it also catches on my teeth a little bit.
Is the lump just scar tissue that has built up from the injury inside my lip? If it is scar tissue, will it go away in time, and if so, how long? Or could it be something else, like the dissolvable stitches? Do I need to see a plastic surgeon? The original cut has completely healed over, but I’m tempted to grab a razor and cut the lump out myself. Help!
