I have a cyst grow on my right side of the face just below my ear lobe. It started small but has grown In the last two years and currently stabilized. It has turned Gregory black. There is no pain but dont know what might happen in the long run. My dermatologist took a look and said it is a cyst and said it can be removed with local anesthesia.  Would it come back after removal? Would that have probability to give room for more issue? I am 62 years old.
Hello! Thank you for the query. If it will be removed with small margin of healthy tissues, no regrow should appear. As it is black, it may be a mole or cyst with a mole. Moles can in some cases become malignant. Those which grow, change size, shape, give pain or itching, should be removed and checked under the microscope. Usually such lumps are removed, and no new lesions appear in this area. So removal will be the best and final treatment. After it, you should forget about this lump and live your life. Hope this will help. Regards.
