Thanks for this, myproblem. I'm already seeing a Dermatologist due to another condition so I can ask him and I'm in the UK so therefore all my treatment is free and on the NHS. Will also look into the scar reduction oils too.
Thanks again.
Thanks for your help.
No, I haven't been to a doctor about it. It hasnt change size, shape, texture or colour either. It appears to be slightly paler than the rest of my lip and would be slightly drier looking ie slightly more wrinkled.
What do you suggest?
There is a natural product callse ScarGo that is available at health food stores. There are probably more brands of the same type of product. It is Vitamin E oil, and some other stuff. I used it on a lumpy scar from stitches, and it diminished it after a couple of weeks use.
Dermatological treatments may also be an option, although they will probably not be covered by insurance.
Sorry to reply to my post yet again but it does appear to be a scar. Any suggestions on what I can do to clear it up?
Hi. You don't mention that you have talked to a doctor - have you? It could be scar tissue from the wound. does the spot ever change in size, color, or texture? Make note of any changes, and contact a doctor to determine the cause of the bump. Then make a decision on what to do about it. covering it up might not be such a good idea until you know what it is.
The droopiness may be from the way you compensate with your mouth muscles to even out the effect from the bump. You may have laxer muscles on one side. If you have no symptoms such as slow eye reflexes, like blinking, or no control over the left side, then it is likely not serious. If you notice that your left eye is visibly slower when blinking, does not close properly or completely, you feel any numbness on that side, or you notice that the left side of your mouth does not close tightly or you dribble when drinking, you should check with your dentist or doctor about Bell's Palsey, a paralasis of the facial muscles. This can be very mild, and go away on it's own, and can become severe, losing all muscle control on the effected side. Bell's Palsey is rare, but not unheard of and there is no known way to determine the cause. If you note any increase in your symptoms, you should talk with a doctor. Take good care.
