My husband Stephen is seven weeks post TX and about 2-3 weeks ago I noticed these bumps on his chin about a half inch under his lip. They are like the shape of a small kidney bean, there are a couple of them. They are not hard and are red and only slightly raised. Of course my imagination went crazy when I first saw them a few weeks ago but I told myself to chill but now they're not gone yet. Its not acne and he hasn't used anything different on his skin. Does this sound like anything to be concerned about or am I being silly?

Kerry, I don't think inquiring about anything unusual is being silly. While this is probably something easily explained and harmless, it should be brought to the doctor's attention. In fact, you might call and describe the situation to a nurse and get an answer that way, and if necessary, an appointment. Being ever vigilant is a good thing.
