I had a pleomorphic adenoma removed in Oct 2014. I had a complication of a fistula which drained both into my mouth and out from the incision behind my ear. 90% of the incision is healing well. However, the part behind my ear (where the fistula leaked out of) is quite raised. The entire area tingles. I know the facial nerve is impacted, but I'm wondering if the stitches were pulled too tight cause the bump behind the ear and some of the tingling? Thank you.
