Asked By:Katrose099 in Norton, Massachusetts

I’m a 38 year female. I had acute facial trauma due to an injury. I had a lip and chin skin through and through skin ( mostly on chin) wound . Both lip larection and chin larection. an ENT specialist stiched up the area with suctures. Suctures we’re removed. Below my lower lip there has formed a harden raised bump that’s pinkish red. Below that on right chin there’s a red red scar going downwards. What is the best treatment to flatten raised bump or to remove it? How do I get rid of redness?
