Can Smoking Cause Balloon Like Bumps On The Face And Its Treatment?

I had a little ballon like growth removed from a bump on my face about a year ago. Done by a dermatologist. I have another the same size on the other side of my face again. Is there anything I can do to remove it besides seeing a dermatologist? Said it may be caused by smoking.

Hello smoking nay related to your bumps as smoke particles reaches to all body parts as it is absorbed in the blood through lungs.Face skin is more sensitive to such substances, which can cause allergic growth on your face.For it's removal dermatologist can advice the best.However it is better to stop/quit smoking forever as it will not only prevent such growth but prevent many problems and diseases that you may suffer in future if you continue the same.And ya also go for biopsy of that growth for exact diagnosis.After quitting smoking you can confirm that growth was due to smoking or not.
