Don't worry it's normal same happened with my stitches it will fade over time just apply vitamin E to help it along.

the bumps are where the stitch was attached through the skin usually Staples are worse leave rougher bumps and aren't used in the face for that reason ...

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ are the stitches .......

once they are removed you see
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:… and with time the redness goes away and the bumps go away some ...

I Have a "zipper" from MY Clavical to my right knee with only 3 1/2 to 4" near the waist and 6 inches Next to the knee from having a complete jumpsuit zipper ... 68 staples in the right leg :)

The bump could be where the knot of the suture was. Or, it could be just normal healing process.
