My son noticed a lump just below his cheekbone yesterday. He had me feel it and it is the size of a grape but round. He said his teeth aren t bothering him and it doesn t cause any pain. I sent him to the Dr. today because he leaves for college in two days. The doctor said it could be a cyst.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have some benign cyst like sebaceous cyst or Desmond cyst.  Or some submandibular lymph node enlargement.  He should go for biopsy.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then he should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
