Swollen and Hard After Mohs Surgery

southflajim
Had mohs 12 days ago. almost all swelling completely gone. 1cm Wound on side bridge of nose closed in linnear type fashion. Stitches from upper side bridge of nose down to crease of ala. Swelling near gone but left with a very hard swollen area begining under skin from bottom of orig 1cm wound (side of nose) extending down to begining of nosolabial fold just above ala. Can push on it and its pliable...but well defined and quite hard. Feels like a hard fish oil (omega 3) gelcap under skin!!!
