is it recent or since birth. there are some skin tags that may be present since birth. if it is recently formed lump. i would like to know if it is red, growing in size or very painful. if painful, it may be suggestive of infection like say boil or furuncle. at times infections around face area can be serious and can spread deep inside. pls post a picture and detailed history.
