I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?

Oral mucous retention cysts usually require surgery for removal, as antibiotics won’t solve the problem. The stitches used during surgery are often dissolvable, and scarring can be minimal, depending on the surgery technique.

My son had cleft surgery 9 years ago but now his upper and lower jaws don't seem aligned properly His lower lip is protruding and looks thicker What should be done next and is there a recommended age for further treatment
Post-cleft jaw misalignment often needs orthodontics or orthognathic surgery; ideal age is after growth completion, usually mid to late teens.
