White, painless lump on right cheek. Any ideas?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi Everyone

I've had this white, painless lump on my cheek, under my right eye, for a few weeks now. I keep forgetting to ask the doctor about it cause I only notice it when I look in the mirror, I forget it's there. I can move it around, and I think it is fluid filled.

Any ideas on what it could be would be greatly appreciated.

    It looks like a cyst which is gradually filling, but with no exit. If it keeps growing ask your doctor if it can be removed. They are quite common.

    If you are in UK your doctor may say it is cosmetic and you have to pay privately to have it removed, but you may be lucky enough to be with a surgery which has facilities to remove lumps and bumps so worth asking.
