Bump on face below eye, pigmented, hurt when touch. Is it serious?
Patient: I have a small bump on my face below my eye that has a slight dark pigment to it and seems to hurt every time I touch it. The area around it is red, but only now has it started hurting. Before it was only a bump on my face that was slightly pigmented. I've been meaning to go to a dermatologist but I've been pushing it back, is it something serious? Doctor: Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef, a general surgeon answering your query.If I were your treating doctor, I would have advised you for an excision biopsy of the swelling specially because of the dark pigment to it. Instead of delaying the process, I would suggest you to see your doctor at your earliest convenient opportunity.Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic forum for your health query. Good luck.
