question: Hi I had a big benign tumor on my nose .On 6th of feb that tumor was removed ... had stitches on nose and on the upper lip area ... quite big cut with many stitches .Had swelling in 1st week on my face , the 2nd week was much better ... in the end of third week again had swelling on the cheeks side of stitches ... Dr prescribed a course of Flucloaxcillin ... now there is a hard area around the stitches which is not swelling just like a lump .What it might be and how long will it take to go ?
