I have a lump on my face after a severe infection from a self administered cashew nut shell extract which claimed to remove warts... However, i mistakenly injected it on an oil glands and not on a wart... It got infected and the dermatologist has injected steroid and used laser treatment every week for a month already. The pain and inflammation is gone but i can feel a lump underneath my affected skin.... The derma first diagnosed it might be granuloma while it was healing but now she was thinking nodular cyst and suggested that i should go to a plastic surgeon to have it removed. Is there other means to remove this cyst without surgery? Its notpainful and it doesnt seem to be growing but there is a discoloration on the surface of my skin that looks like a bruise. Could it be due to steroid injections? Is it sabaceous cyst? i dont want a surgery because it will leave a scar on my face. Ive been reading about possible kind of cyst i have but the closest i get is sabacous cyst.
Hi dear thanks for query on ChatDoctorYOU need to visit a surgeon /plastic surgeon. He will examine. If the diagnosis is doubtful he will get a FNAC of the swelling which will give the pathological diagnosis, which will help in the treatment. Earlier surgical procedure is better. Scar will be minimal. If it gets infected or the swelling increases and procedure delayed will result in a bigger scar. Thank you
