What Does A Bump On Temple Indicate?

I have a bump on the right side of my temple that has been there for a month. At first I thought it was a pimple but it doesn t go away. I ve popped it and blood comes out followed by water. It s still there after popping it. I think I haven t gotten all the water out. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that you developed a cyst in the temple region. Cyst is a fluid filled cavity that is covered by a cell lining.

If you will rupture the cyst, there are chances it will recur as the cell lining remains inside which gives rise to recurrent cyst development.

I would recommend you to visit a physician or an oral & maxillofacial surgeon for the examination of the are and removal of cyst by surgical procedure along with lining.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
