I had lip fillers done in november last year. In the past few months i have noticed a dark lumpy patch in my lips but never really gave it a second thought until now. It doesn't hurt. The lump can be felt easily, however, the dark patch is not easily noticeable until I stretch my lips out. The injector suggested i take famvir and apply hirudoid cream.. which hasnt made any difference. Is this something I should be worried about? (I.e. vascular occlusion, melanoma, etc).
