Default Gum after extraction

Hi Bryanna, I had tooth 2 extracted 4 weeks ago, as you know. It doesn't hurt anymore and the lumpiness is going away. It looks fine except the inner part, the hole, is not the color of the gum, pink...it still looks partially reddened. I get my stitches out tomorrow from the other extraction (tooth 11, different oral surgeon). I had my follow up for the first tooth and he said it looks fine, but that was 3 weeks ago. Surgeon #2 said maybe a piece of bone is trying to come out but I don't see anything. How would they know, an x-ray? He said no, so I don't know. Is it normal for it to still be a little red (no blood or anything)? No infection because I have taken antibiotics and there is no soreness in that area anymore. The thought of going back to the first oral surgeon who extracted #2 for further intervention is freaking me out. Do some people just have this redness then it goes away? Thanks.
