Answers:
No, the same thing happened to me after I had them out. One of your back teeth is rubbing against the skin and tearing it open. They filed the tooth down in my mouth that was causing this.Health Question & Answer
You are not growing another wisdom tooth. However, you may have a piece of you wisdom tooth still in there. You also may have a small chunk of bone that was broken when the tooth was extracted. My father had a piece of bone come out years after his wisdom teeth were removed. Health Question & Answer
