Also lancing means to cut it open. Like my husband had done.

It could be a zit but maybe also a cyst. I have a bump behind my ear that moves when I touch it. It's hard and under the skin. The doctor said it was a cyst and nothing to worry about. I would say don't stress it unless it is causing pain or some other issue. I know that if it is noticeable and your like my husband that's easier said then done. But still try.

I've been cleaning it with the face wash I usually use &'dd whenever I touch it I can move it back and fourth, but it's not really big,big it's just feels small and the person said it was a inner zit and it takes a week to go away.but do zits form like this or is it just a bump?I'm concerned and I have a doctors appointment on thrusday but I really can't wait I just want to know how I got this thing and what it is.and what does lanced mean?I don't know what u mean by lanced.

My husband has issues with zits. They usually go away on their on. But he has had two that he had to get cut open. I would say get some good over counter med, and read the directions. If it doesn't work see a doctor.

Hi,
Is it a zit or a lump? A zit could eventually go away just by keeping it clean and maybe putting some medicated cream on it, unless it's in an extremely uncomfortable place where it rubs or it's harder to keep clean, then you may have to have it lanced.  A bump could be a cyst and depending on where it's at, if it gets bigger I'd definitely have it checked out.  If it just stay the same and doesn't bother you, it could eventually disappear on it's own, or again, may need to be lanced.  In either case, it's hard to say exactly when it will go away
