Hi doctor About three weeks ago I noticed a small lump on my face directly in front of my ear It only hurt if I pressed on it and I only noticed it becaus I was rubbing my face It hasn t changed in size but its not going away I couldn t imagine what it I know its not a pimple and now today there s one on the other side of my face in the same spot thus one is slightly larger and this one hurts What could it be My dentist has been telling me for the last couple of years that I m gonna need to get my wisdom teeth pulled When it was only one lump I had no clue what it could be but now that there s one on each side I m wondering if its related to that?

these are nothing but sebaceous cysts that are generally caused due to minor skin injuries..........
it has nothing to do with dental problems
