Patient's question:
The child is four years old and was knocked down by a classmate during school, resulting in a split lower lip that required two stitches. When the wound was stitched, there was a hard bump on the edge and inside the wound. What is the cause of the hard bump on the wound? Will it heal? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your condition involves symptoms caused by localized scar formation following a localized injury. Generally, it may lead to symptoms such as localized swelling and pain. In your case, active medication treatment is necessary, and there is no major issue.For your situation, I recommend starting with adequate rest and a light, warm, and easily digestible diet, which is very important. It is also suggested that your child apply aloe vera cream externally to the affected area after it scars, as it is highly effective. Gradually, it will heal on its own.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my lower lip gets split after being hit?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
