I have had mole removal yesterday and local anaesthetic was used (at 5pm). I was also told to apply Fucidin, which I did (at 10pm). Around 4 am my lips became extremely swollen to the point I cannot talk properly and they still have not gone down. What can I do? They are not painful, just very swollen and making it difficult to eat or talk.
