Also, did you experience any soreness in the lips? I have a scar in the middle of my lip but right next to it, there is a tender bump that is bothering me. And ever since my biopsy, my lips have been peeling everyday! Is this normal?! I'm going to call the doctors office to voice my concern. Hopefully it hasn't traveled to my lip! I do see sores on my gums. They've never been there before. I feel like the closer I am to surgery, the more pain I feel! Everyone's recovery is such a motivation to me! I will try my best to check back soon before my surgery thursday!
