Also there s a slight mark on my lip is that because fresh skin hasn t come up? Will my lip heal back to normal ?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump formation on lips which is due to punched injury. Need not panic about it. This is normal mechanism of healing as collagen tissue is getting formed, and it will take around 3-4 weeks for granulation tissue to form incompletely. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Apply Colonel on finger and massage on lip surface. Apply Desi ghee as well. Visit oral pathologist once and go for complete examination if symptoms keeps on persisting. Take painkiller and antihistamine Chat Doctor.
