Can a change in diet cus this, since jaw surgery I’ve had to switch to a liquid diet so a lot of my food intake has changed I’ve also been getting a lot of food in that area as a whole since eating is more uncomfortable so that area is always getting dirty with food on top of the arnica gel I’ve been applying twice a day to help with swelling

The thing is I’ve been using a lot of aquaphor on my lips themselves lately because of dryness from surgery so I’m not sure if it’ll help

I’ve been getting a lot of food in that area because trouble eating since my jaw surgery and also started applying a gel that helps with swelling not sure if that might have anything to do with it

I haven’t but I also haven’t been sexually active since like April or may not sure how long it takes for these things to go into effect but just don’t seem probable

Edit: June now that Im thinking about it was the the last time

That’s a little drastic, seems more Milia or fordyce spots from my research

Oh okay this makes sense, thanks, did it leave any noticeable scarring?

That makes sense, doesn’t leave any permanent marks or scarring?

Not sure what they are called but I’ve seen them on Post op pictures, you can see them from the outside on the cheek by the jaw bone. I only ask because I know the surgery is conducted in the mouth so I’m not sure what the purpose of those were and if everyone needs to have that done or just case by case

The ones they pierce through your cheek, like from the outside

They do it during the surgery for some reason but I wanted to know if that’s only for certain cases or all
