What Causes Lump On The Cheek With Whitish Discharge?
My niece had a bump on her cheek for about two years and yesterday after we went swimming in the lake and playing in the chlorinated water park, my sister scratched it and out popped a whiteish large round calcification. What is this caused from and will it come back?

Hi,Dear,
1-I went through your story in depth.2-In my opinion it appears to be a chronically infected node , which got burst-after 2 yrs of holding.3-Biopsy of the lump wall would most probably lead to -Tubercular abscess of the Node in the neck of your niece.4-Any other possibility could be told only after the biopsy of the cheek-lump.5-I would advise to go to nearby surgeon and take his help on the lines suggested.6-Dont be careless now-7-If you want any more help-feel free to ask.Wellcome and Thnks for this query.
