hi my name is megan, im 19. a couple days ago i woke up with a cluster of skin tone bumps on my lwft cheek, next to my nose. they didnt hurt or itch, then the next morning the surroundin area is hard and my whole cheek is swollen, and now it really itches, and hurts a little bit what is it?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cheek lumps with hardness, swelling and itching which could be due to local reaction to something if you have applied during few days or may not have a specific reason. You can consider allergy testing to determine what would have caused this reaction so that it can be avoided. It could be Lipoma which is over growth of fat cells in fibrous tissue under the skin. Exact cause of lipoma is not known but sometimes minor injury can act as a trigger factor. But as it is bothering you aesthetically, you can get it removed by surgeon. Small incision under local anesthesia can serve the purpose. Hope your concern has been resolved, Best Wishes,
