What Is The Lump On The Face?
Hi, I have medium size hard lump on my face, upper cheek bone, under the corner of my eye. This has happened once before and went away over the course of a day or two. I was rubbing my face and felt it again. Its not causing pain or affection my vision, just minor discomfort.

Hi! this lump should not be neglected...
Yes, its location is very critical and if further enlarged, can affect not only your looks but also your eye and nose! This one is an infected inclusion cyst or some benign skin tumor-like lesion like histiocytoma or dermatofibroma!
A simple 2-minutes needle biopsy can confirm the diagnosis and please don't rub/poke it.
And see a dermatologist/surgeon for a direct examination and treatment plan!
