Confused Healing dry socket

I had an upper molar extracted (after abcess and fractured) 2 weeks ago which developed into an infected dry socket which I had packed and a further course of antibiotics for.

Please could anyone advise what a healing dry socket should look like? At present it looks like there is a raised red lump where the tooth was pulled, it does not look like gum 😒 is that normal?

I am also still having pain and numbness but believe this could take a while to resolve.

Thanks in advance x
