What causes lump on the face?
Patient: Good morning Sir,I have noticed a small lump next to a mole on my face, it has been there for a month, however yesterday some white stuff came out of it, could I assume this is a cyst or spot rather than a tumor, I have an appointment at the hospital next week, should I be concerned?Many thanks. Doctor: Its most likely to be a Sebaceous cyst which would have got burst and the stuff would have come out. The only worry now that it has burst is of infection. If it becomes red or is painful, then you might need a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. You can get it removed by a small operation once the infection subsides. Take care,Dr Rishi, India.
