Colorless Lump On Left Cheek. No Discharge, Redness/spots, But Painful. How To Get Rid Of It?

I have something like a colorless mole/lump on my left cheek. It has been there for years - maybe 10 years. There is no discharge or redness/spots and is not at all painful. It's just there and ugly. There is no texture to it either, and no hairs growing out of it. I am 46 years old, female and Type 1 diabetic. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Washing, acne meds, alcohol, peroxide - none of that does anything.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It seems that you are having skin tumor...

Most probably ...dermatofibroma.

It is a benign condition.

You just consult dermatologist.

It may be removed by either surgical excision, cryotherapy or electro surgery.

All procedures are done under local anaesthesia.

Before that , be sure that your DM is under control.. Ok

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
