Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Temple

I have had a lump on my temple for about 8 weeks. It started small but has gotten larger...I initially thought it to be a pimple but I tried to squeeze it and nothing came out. I also tried hot compresses but to no avail. It doesn t bother me at all except that it is there and is causing me stress and anxiety. When I press on it, it moves around under my skin. What could it be?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In my opinion the lump is probably atheroma, a benign skin lesion of the sebaceous gland, usualy indolent and slowly getting bigger. You can have it removed by surgery (local anesthesia is needed), if it causes you discomfort or cosmetic issues. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
