Is It Normal To Have Yellow Trail Around Lips Due To Stitches And Wax?
Hi doctor, I just got stitches in my outside lower lip 2 days ago and I was given by the doctor yellow soft paraffin to help keep moisturized. When I wake up each morning I tend to have a yellow trail down my chin or around the wound, is this normal?

This is serum coming from wound. Its normal. If crusting occur antibiotics will be needed. It will improve in few days. Keep the area clean and dry.
