Question
My child is four years old and was pushed over by a classmate at school, causing a split lower lip injury and two stitches. Now that the wound has healed, there is a hard lump inside the wound edge. I don’t know what this is, and whether it will heal? How should it be treated?
Answer
Your condition may be due to scar formation as a result of regional trauma, which usually causes regional swelling and pain. It is recommended to actively use medication treatment and apply Aloe Vera cream to the regional area after scar formation to improve symptoms. With time, this condition usually heals on its own.
