What Is The Lump Under The Skin That Pops And Fills Into A Lump Again?
For a while now I had this small lump in my face, just under the skin. A few weeks ago it popped, however it left a small hole. Each time i leave it to heal, it just fills up again and the lump returns (although smaller). What is it and how do I treat it?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is obviously a cyst. This has a lining inside, which secretes the fluid so it is filled again if the opening is closed.
The best way is to get this excised / removed surgically from a Surgeon.
You get the disease out and get a definitive diagnosis.
