hello. I had my wisdom teeth taken out 3 weeks ago. They were partially impacted so they had to cut my gum and cheek. I had stitches (marked as an X on the photo) but since having stitches and they fell off it’s left a hard lump on my cheek which is painful (circled in the photo). Is this scar tissue or a undissolved stitch? I have spoken to my hospital where I had it done and they won’t see me as it’s not classed as an emergency. Has anyone else seen this? Will it go and flatten over time?
