Pea Sized Ball On Face, Moving After Pressing. Any Ideas?

Hi, this morning I noticed a pea sized ball on my left side of my face. It is near my jaw line, kind of feels like its between my gums and my cheek. I can't see anything when I open my mouth, it must be under my skin. I can move it freely if i slight press to one side and then the other, but again, I can't see it at all. I read in a lot of blogs that this could be a cyst. Any idea and suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Rule out infection first and do some blood investigation like CBC and clinical examination.
If no infection then local triamcinolone cream can be applied.

Take care
