What Is The Lump With Foul Odor On The Lower Cheek?
My husband has a lump about the size of a grape on his lower cheek. Can not see it from outside but he can feel it. He says it's been there a lil over a year and now he is noticing a foul odor when he scratches that side of his face. It smells like infection to me but I don't know. It doesn't hurt and is smooth andmoves around a little bit. Any ideas???

welcome to Health care magic.
1.You are giving history of 1 year, it is suspicious.
2.I would recommend you to see doctor as soon as possible and let it examined and request for a swab / sample.
3.because infections / inflammations generally won't there for so long.
4.Hope it helps.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
