Bump On The Side Of Face, Yellow Sticky Discharge When Popped, Occasionally Blood. Is It Cyst ?
I have this bump on the side of my face that I thought was a pimple so I tried popping it. It discharged yellow sticky fluid. This bump has been on the side of my face forever now, and I think it may be a cyst . Aside from the yellow goo , I get the occasional blood . I know it isn t a pimple because I can feel the fluid inside when I move it around. This bump is on the side of my face to the left of my left eye. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Yes it can be a cyst.
Pimples also present in same way, but are not so persistant.
Apply some antibiotic cream and see if the lesion heals.
If it still persist , surgical removal may be needed.
Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis and treatment
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
