Suggest Remedy For Lump On Chin

                                                                 Hi there i have had a little lump, what i thought was a spot/zit on my chin for the last month. whenever i try to squeeze it, it just secreetes oil but never any white puss. i can squish it flat but it will come back quite quickly. it has scabbed over a few times but now just remains as a lump.

Welcome to health care magic.

1.The symptoms suggest possible cause could be salivary gland dilatation which could be seen as a lump / lesion in the chin area.
2.Next possible cause will be infective aetiology with a collection with in.
3.It needs to be examine to evaluate the sours of the lump and followed by treatment.
4.In first case you need simple massage in the region to facilitate the flow.
5.In second case a course of antibiotic would help.
6.Suggest do not squeeze, scratch - that will complicate and delay healing. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
