What Causes A Small Bump On The Forehead?
Question: Will you please identify the type and cause of bump located on my forehead above my right eye? I cut it off before myself but not all the way down flat and it grew back. How should this be treated and should I be concerned? I have attached pictures.
Brief Answer:
Wart
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is a common wart.
It can be removed permanently with radio frequency ablator.
You can meet a dermatologist and get it removed.
It's a small procedure and takes around 10 min to remove.
Creams like tretinoin 0.05 % to be applied twice daily for a month can also be used to remove this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
