i had oral surgery for a blocked submandibular gland about 6 days ago. The wound is still a little swollen and there is a white layer where the incision was made. I tried taking a q-tip to it and it wouldnt come off, so i know its not pus, but what is it? Im 22 years old, Female, 56, 130lbs.
IIN regard to your query, As you mentioned you had a surgery what you see is nothing but healing tissue I would suggest you to not touch or disturb that area. Coming to the swelling it will come down slowly by another 3-4 days nothing much to worry since you have no symptoms. Swelling is part of a healing processConsult your doctor the if symptoms persist. Hope I have answered your query tic your satisfaction.
