I noticed immediately the the left side of my mouth was more swollen but doctor said it was just swelling. Gradually they turned into large lumps. After 2 months of trying to massage them I went back, was told massage them more.. Went back again and had enzyme to dissolve them. One month later went back again, it hadn't done anything. This time had another more enzyme to dissolve, this time much more, my lip was high swollen + bruised. 2 weeks later and almost no change. I'm really worried :(
