I have a lump on the side of my face, can anybody help?

Within a couple of days a lump has come out on the side of my face. It is located just in my hair line on the side of my face, in front of the top of my ear. It is hard and hurts when pressure is applied. It has grown quite rapidly within 24 hours to the size of a large pea under the skin. Does anyone know what it may be?

It is possibly a sebaceous cyst. Try warm compress several times daily keep wetting a warm wash booth and hold pressure to is. For 15 min if it's not getting better and reabsorbing it will probably need to be landed. So see doc for that!

Hello~It could be an ingrown hair, if it doesn't get better in a few days, I would see your physician.
