Specialist can help: A facial laceration, after healing, can trap stuff inside the wound. Sometimes, surface skin cells got trapped under the skin. Over time, the cells multiply and form a cyst under the skin, which should be removed. Sometimes, a foreign object (plastic, metal, wood, etc.) is trapped under the skin and causes chronic inflammation, and needs to be removed. An ENT or facial plastic surgeon can help.
