Answer: Hi Promise and thanks for using Wellvis 

Sorry about the aesthetic discomfort youre experiencing and hopefully my reply can offer you some reassurance

From your description of the event it appears that your body healed itself by hypertrophy swelling Unfortunately it cannot be modified by application of creams or ointments as it now functions as a normal part of your body Which leaves the only possible solution Im aware of to be surgical correction by a plastic surgeon

However if I may ask further are you experiencing any physical discomfort like pain difficulty talking eating etc Also are you getting teased mocked or made fun of If yes you should see a doctor to assess the implications the physical impediment And for the social stigma if this is happening within a formal setting school or work inform the relevant authority

Ill encourage you to talk about it with someone you trust a family member or a friend  That may help you be much more comfortable with it and may in turn inspire someone else who faces the same Youve done a great job living with it for 6 years and my guess is your immediate circle of interaction do not see you as any different than before the incident

As a reminder you have the final say on which ever decision you choose to make as long as it makes you live a good quality of life

If you need to discuss further on this you can talk to one of our doctors using the chat function below

I hope this helps and all the best
