How to deal with a split lower lip after bumping it

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 lump on the edge and inside the wound. What is the cause of the hard lump 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 rest and maintaining a light, warm, and easily digestible diet, which is very important. It is suggested that your child apply aloe vera cream externally to the affected area after scarring occurs, 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 I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
