Will The Skin Tag After Removal Of Wisdom Teeth Cure Its Own?

Hello. I had my wisdom teeth extracted three days ago and I have developed a "skin tag" near the extraction site. It is on my cheek, however. I am not sure if I bit it while my mouth was numb or something else happened. It causes a little bit of pain and I was wondering if this will heal on its own or I need to call my doctor.

Hello dear,
Just be relaxed and keep calm. I will definitely help you with the my best possible advice.Most probably it will heal on its own.
• The skin tag What you have seen on cheek may be due to the injury caused during the extraction of the wisdom tooth..
Here I am advising few things which will fasten the healing process.
• Try to have more of green vegetables and fruits.
• Use of betadene gargle (povidone iodine solution) readily available in medical stores twice daily. Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after rinsing mouth with betadene gargle.
• Multivitamin tablet once daily for 1 week.
- Apply topical gels like metrogyl-DG forte or Rexidine M gel over the skin tags thrice daily for 3-5 days.
Most probably symptoms should start subsiding by 2-3 days.
Hope this will help you
Thank You
Take Care
