I had all four wisdoms removed 7 days ago. My sutures dissolved and fell out yesterday and I'm left with this on the bottom 2 sites. The pictures are of the same wisdom removal however. I don't taste anything bad or notice any sort of odor, neither pain. The way it looks just has me paranoid.

Nothing to worry about, as you don't show any features of a dry socket. Just gargle well after each time you have any food and maintain the oral hygiene, to prevent any possible food lodgement in the sockets. That's it.
