Hello doctor, I met with with an bike accident recently, my helmet hit my face on lips and chin where I got some stitches, but now after 15 days I still have a hard bump on my chin which is dark red in color which does not go away, it doesn't hurt but feels hard, it feels like a bump we get on our head if had an impact. Please suggest me something to get rid of it. Ans please let me know if it's normal.

You may feel bumps and lumps under the skin. This is normal and is due to the dissolvable sutures under the surface. They will go away with time. Occasionally a red bump or pustule forms along the suture line when a buried stitch works its way to the surface. This is only temporary, and applying a warm compress to the spot usually helps it resolve. If it does not resolve, or you have questions, please consult with me.
