What is a feather or stick type growth on the cheek. White stiff?

A woman friend of mine has this growth on her cheek. She speaks broken English. She is Karen and about 75 yo. She said it is not painful but can’t get it off her face.
From my experience Derms are very little help. One Dr. I went to didn’t even look at my problem area,just prescribed cream.
I have lumps under the skin,not itchy not painful. What I could gather from the internet.They are benign cysts on my genitals.

Are you worried about the growth on her cheek or worried about the lumps you are seeing- or both?  I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience with the doctor when you went, some doctors are not great at listening- but they really are the best place to get a diagnosis.  Sometimes you may need to go back another time, but it's best to get each of these issues examined in person by someone who can ask questions and gather more information then we can here.  Don't rely on Internet research- it's never really accurate.
