Post tooth (molar) lump in extraction site
I've had a tooth (molar) extraction 15 days ago, it went well, didn't need stiches, in the last 1-2 days I started feeling a lump in the extraction site, it's not painful but when I took a picture I could see the bump and surrounding is red.. I'm stressing out pretty bad..
