A member asked:

Hello i have a hard lump on my face high up on the cheekbone, it feels like bone,i had a x-ray and showed nothing what could it be?

Impossible to say: It is impossible to even guess without being able to examine the area first hand. You need to discuss the issue with the doctor who ordered the xray. You can always get a second opinion.
