I had a small cyst removed from my neck 7 days ago. Edges of the incision area are swollen and firm to touch. There is no pain, but I am distressed because it is quite noticeable. Is this part of normal healing process? Will swelling go down? Did my PA suture incorrectly to cause this swelling? If the suture was done incorrectly, what can I do now to reduce the swlleng?

I would greatly appreciate any adivese.
