Hi i Had upper lip suturing two weeks before and got them removed after 10 days. But I feel some thing hard collected under the skin of the lip which does not deform on touch (a kind of knot). There is no pain in touching. Is there something serious?

Probably catgut has been used for stitching which can lead to such swelling, You can wait for some time May get resolved.
