[|Human|] hi...... i got dissolving stitches on my inner lip 2 days ago because they took out some growth. now there is suome white stuff on it......... what is it and should i be worried??????? and how can i also get the swelling to down????????? thanks. busted lip girl
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white stuff on the area where the stitches have been put is nothing but a soft tissue slough. Nothing to be panic, it is common after surgery. The other possible cause can be food debris over the stitches. Do saline gargling and keep the area clean. Rinse your mouth thoroughly soon after eating anything. Regarding the swelling, it will be there for another one day, because the damaged lymphatics will take 24-48hrs of time to recover so nothing to worry. You can take analgesic with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.
