Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Bruise On Cheek, Tiny Lump Under Skin, Radiating Shooting Pain. Treatment?
My cheek has felt bruised for about a week now with no discoloration. On closer inspection, the pain is isolated to a very tiny ball that can move a bit right on the under part of my upper cheekbone closer to the hairline. This little (grain of rice size) ball is the one source of the pain. I d been moving furniture recently so i have several bruises and remember hitting this cheek, but never saw a bruise. Pretty concerned since finding the little painful ball, small but radiates quite a bit.

Hi,
A probable injury resulted from your moving furniture. Do not worry; it will go away soon.
Apply ice packs locally twice daily. You could take simple analgesics like Tylenol.
Get well soon.
Regards,
