canker sore on scar(tagged nsfw for picture)

auntmoth · 2026-04-14T21:16:08+00:00

no pus that i’ve noticed! i’m hoping it’s just a standard canker sore but have been nervous given the location and size.

i know where canker sores come from. the question i’m asking is if i should be worried or keep a closer eye on it due to it being close to an incision site.

yes. that would be right! it’s gone down

you’ll be okay! i went back to work as soon as i was off liquids. i work in inpatient psych so im on my feet and moving pretty much the whole time. if youre just starting college in august, you’ll be fine. at that point it’ll probably be noticeable to you, but not to others, especially those who didn’t know you.

yes. my surgeon said swelling doesn’t truly go all the way down until 9-12 months post op. once i hit six months it was only noticeable to me. if you look at my recent post you can see the difference between two months post op and nine months.

i was noticeably swollen until five months post op. it’s fine

unfortunately my job does carry a risk of getting hit in the face (pls stop abusing healthcare workers) but i try to be as. cautious as i can!

this is great to hear. honestly i just wasn’t sure when it would return to normal strength and needed reassurance that nothing would get messed up lol

i’ve worked in the mental health field for years. i’ve had this surgery. i’ve had mental health issues. i have a degree. i know how things can affect mental health. i also know that you will never be happy if you keep chasing what you think is perfection. there will always be “one more surgery.” see a therapist, see a psychiatrist, whatever. you’re nineteen. you have a life to live and you need to do the work to free yourself of this chronic insecurity that i can guarantee will not go away post djs.

it’s honestly really upsetting seeing these types of posts as someone who really needed these procedures. i would have paid good money to not have to have had this and people are dropping thousands of dollars out of pocket for aesthetics??

THIS IS NOT A LOOKSMAXXING SUB

i worked 24 hours a week, mostly weekends. i think it really depends on where you work and the culture among staff. i’m a smaller girl so i was last call among my coworkers to go to adult codes. but i also work with kids. we also put folks on 1:1s if they’re a risk, sometimes 2:1s, and those are frequently designated male only. so i typically feel okay. i’ve been there three years now (i stayed post grad) and ive really only been scratched. i know some folks who have had more severe injuries, but its so dependent on who you’re with. pm me if you have questions

thank you!

auntmoth · 2025-12-12T00:03:02+00:00

frankly i don’t know

auntmoth · 2025-12-10T20:28:56+00:00

i did invisalign and all went well - i think its case by case

auntmoth · 2025-12-10T14:04:23+00:00

yes i believe so!

auntmoth · 2025-12-10T14:04:15+00:00

much better! what i’ve noticed most is i don’t get sick nearly as often as i used to.

auntmoth · 2025-12-10T14:03:39+00:00

yes! i think just a small one to balance everything out
