Posted on Mon, 8 May 2017
Question: My 31 year old son has a bump on his face, near his cheek, about the size of a nickel and is gradually growing larger. It feels like it is under his skin but can be seen on the outside, it is not painful, it is dark around the edges of the bump. The bump has reoccurred once. What could it be and how can it be treated : to rid permanently.

20 minutes for an Expert Consultant Surgeon , it`s an OPD base procedure &
he doesn't require to be hospitalized for the same.
