Suggest Cure For A Lump On The Face
i have a lump on the side of my face, between my face and ear lobe. I have had it for over a year and it started to get bigger....so i tried to pop it twice with a push pin. Discharge came out and then 2 days later it started to leak out on its own. The discharge smelled and was kinda greensish grayish pus.... Should i keep trying to get the discharge out?

hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
