What Could The Clot Like Swelling Around Wisdom Tooth Indicate?

My daughter had all 4 of her wisdom teeth one of them had a cyst which was removed and tested it was fine. A few weeks later a hard lump was felt by that same sight and her right side was swollen a clot formed and surgeon released it and she was fine. A panoramic X-Ray was done and everything looked fine. Recently a small pinkish spot appeared by her jaw where the lump is still hard. Don't know if it's related. Can you help.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This spot which you are mentioning can be collection of pus , which might have occured because of infection of bone or tooth. Better you visit your dentist again, and get it properly examined as not to take any risk in a follow up case of cyst.
Hope it will help you.
