What Causes Skin Tag Which Looks Like Cyst Inside The Cheek?
Hello, I have what seems to look like a skin tag on the inside of my cheek. It looks like a cyst that is hanging by a small piece of flesh as opposed to being a smooth round bump. Any help on what it could be? It developed out of the blue two days ago while I was fighting a real bad cold.
As per your case history, you are having a Mucocele.
My treatment advice is: 1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Metrogyl-DG cream twice daily on it. 3. Only curative treatment is excision under local anesthesia done by a dermato-surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
