Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I have taken note of your query and i have also reviewed the image.

I can see a smooth surfaced, skin colored, raised bump.

This seems to be either sebaceous hyperplasia Or it could be an intradermal nevus.

Since how long do you have it?

I have two of them on my face. The first one I have had for several months now maybe about half a year that I can remember. The second won I just noticed. Is there any cream or anything that I can use to treat it? Thanks

Here are two more pictures. The one on my left side of face is a little harder to see. I tried to get good lighting for them. This is the best I could do

Brief Answer:
CO 2 Laser Or Radiofrequency Cautery

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

I have reviewed the images.

I will stick to my original diagnosis i.e sebaceous hyperplasia.

Treatment is either CO2 Laser Or Radiofrequency Cautery.

Creams won't help.
