What Causes A Movable Lump Under The Skin In The Cheek?
Hi there , I have a small-ish lump in my right cheek just under the skin that I have had for around 4 years now. The lump is in a perfect circle and I can move it with my fingers , it has a rubbery type feel to it to. The lump has never caused any pain or discomfort and no one has really noticed it before but it is starting to bother me now. I was wondering if it is a lipoma?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Yes, it sounds like a lipoma. Lipomas never hurt, are soft and rounded. Sometimes are movable. For sure it is nothing malignant. Sebacues cyst is also possible.
As it bothers you, please have an ultrasound of it to determine what is it build of. Lipoma can be removed with small incision.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
