Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My 8 year old daughter has had a small lump on her face in front of her ear since she was about 3 or so. She has seen the dr. for it a number of times, we tried a perscription cream, heat, alcahol to clean it, and many other things none of which have done any good. The lump is about the diameter of a pea, slightly raised and appears almost as though it has a cream colored substance in it although when we have tried to squeeze it or pierce it to drain it nothing comes out and it just gets really redish purple for a while after.
Hi, The description you have given about the lump suggests it may be a non-inflammatory, benign lesion (as it has been there for five years with no progression or changes). It could be a wart, which has ragged edges with creamy color (if image of the lesion available, it would be better), which may improve with cryotherapy. Still I would advise you to get a Dermatologists' opinion for further management. Hope your daughter get better soon. Hope I have answered your query. Happy to help and clear your doubts. Thank you.
