What Is The Treatment For Lump On The Cheek?
I have what feels like a small lump under my skin on the cheek bone. When squeezed a white worm like string exits the pore. This can be done daily as the lump reforms roughly daily. the lump is never large enough to be visable but can be felt. Is there a way to cure the problem?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is a well formed sebaceous cyst ans by virtue of its open duct you can express the contents called a sebum - the white string.
Cure::
Occasionally such lumps can go into healing by the body and them you may not have to do anything .
If this is not happening it is better to be excised under local anesthesia.
This is an OPD procedure.
