A member asked:
I have a lump (not sure if its a pimple) under my skin on my cheek i don't know what do to, is it a cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sebaceous Cyst: The most likely thing is a sebaceous cyst which is benign. It should be evaluated and removed while it is still small. In this location, i would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon to minimize the appearance of the scar.
