Mysterious Facial Bump?
by PJC315, Jun 15, 2006 12:00AM
Hi--I am new to this forum but I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I have a 'bump' on the inside of my right nose/eye area that I thought was a blemish/pimple, due to my period coming on last month. But, this 'thing' never aquired a head, and it stayed, and it hasent gone away. This thing bothers me and I did the dreaded thing that I have NEVER done this morning, and steralized a needle and tryed to make a head to drain whatever is in it, and there was nothing to come out of it. I am not going to go to a dermatologist for one bump and pay alot of money for this, so I was hoping someone had some suggestions as to what this could be and what I could do about it? I am 44 years old and look very young, and have normal skin, and get the normal blemishes for period times of the month. So if anyone has any information for me, please let me know, I would so appreciate your time. THANK YOU!

Well, more than likely, it is just a simple spot....they don't all have to have a 'head'. You could try a simple antibiotic cream.
BUT, if the spot remains, you should really see a dermatologist as it could be a type of cancer...possiby a basal cell...which can classically 'masquerade' as a spot or pimple. Don't be too alarmed by this as basal cell skin cancers are totally curable and rarely metastasize. They commonly appear on exposed areas of the body like the face.
Good Luck.
Who knows, if it is a simple pimple due to infection, then it might be gone by the time you read this!
