Hi hs,

The reduction in the pain is good. However, ideally the packing should be removed and new packing put in it's place. Also the hard lump needs to be clinically evaluated. So a trip to the surgeon would be wise.

Also where the stitches were in my cheek there is a slit and in between I can see white line i do not know if these are some residual stitches or something else. Just below it is I have developed a hard lump is this normal?
