Suggest Remedy For Pimple Like Growth On Cheek

I have a pimple like thing on my left cheek which dosnt hurt at all but every few days white cheezy and very foul smelling thing comes out from this tiny hole. This pimple is from past one year and doesn t look like a pimple but as a tiny pore on the skin that keeps getting filled up with this foul thick white thing. I squeeze and clean it but it keeps coming back again and again. Can you tell me the permanent home cure for it. I am a guy aged 28

Hi,

Welcome to HCM...

You seem to have sebaceous cyst. There may be small cystic swelling. On the top of cyst, there may be minute opening. The cyst contains cheesy whitish or blackish foul smelling material,which might be extracted by squeezing the cyst. Sometime,the cyst might be infected.

Please consult dermatologist or general surgeon.

The cyst may be surgically removed under local anaesthesia. It is a minor surgery done in OPD.

I hope this would be helpful to you.

Thanks.
