Small Facial bump
by Jonathan199, Nov 04, 2009 04:49PM
On my cheek, 1cm from my nose, I have one small bump. It is deep in the skin, colorless, and it basically seems like a small pimple that won't "pop". Anything I do to it just irritates the skin (usually making it red). If I squeeze it between two fingers, it feels like a very small (mustard seed size) lump under the skin. It doesn't hurt unless I pick at it and irritate the skin. I want it gone for cosmetic reasons.
My Guesses:
- cyst
- milia
- syringoma
What is it, and what can I do to make it go away?

I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like a cyst. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.
Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected, then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required. Also surgery needs to be done if the cyst is unsightly or becomes painful. A dermatologist’s evaluation will be the best in this case. Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
