How To Get Rid Of A Lump Underneath My Cheekbone?
Hello doctor, I'm a 19 year old male I have a lump just underneath my cheekbone on the side of my face, the lump is about pea size maybe a bit bigger as it is visible without manipulating area, the lump is painless and doesn't seem to move like a lymph node does, it is also quite compact. I am really worried about this and have a doctors appointment, could it be cancerous?

Hi.No way this can be cancerous at the age of 19 , for sure.
Most probably this is a sebaceous cyst and simple excision will help in 2 ways. First - the removal of the disease and Secondly histopatho reports to prove this is not cancerous.
