Lump On Right Side Of Chin, Blood Discharge On Popping. Injected It With Cortisone. Cancer?
I have a small (little larger then a pea) lump on the right side of my chin . i went to a dermatologist and he opened it expecting to find material inside. there was just blood . He injected it with cortizone and it didi get alittle smaller. 3 week later i went back and he injected it again. It has gotten even small but is still there. I go back in two weeks and if it is not significantly gone he wants to biopsy it. Does he think this is cancer?

Hi,
biopsy does not always indicate a cancer. without proper history regarding nature of swelling and associated features it is difficult to comment on diagnosis. anyway as he has ordered biopsy you should go for it . exact tissue diagnosis then can be easily made and treatment can be done. cosult dermatologist.
