Greetings Dr. Prasad, over the last 3 months I have developed a rise on the side of my temple, I believe it may be due to a tooth filling gone bad. The Rise falls in line with a vein / vessel, I consulted with a plastic surgeon last week and he said that due to the size ( pea size ) I should not worry too much, just monitor the area. He personally would not consider any type of surgery, he does not make any conection between the tooth filling at all. The doctor states that sometimes oil deposits into skin follicles and this may be the result but when I lift objects of a certain weight/size the area flares up as if I was bitten by a wasp, welp appearance.... What are your thoughts and advice?
Hi dear thanks for the query on ChatDoctorThe region you are explaining is the region where a major vessel runs. With aging the vessel becomes prominent and starts bulging out. Sometimes you can feel the pulsation also. The lump the doctor is fell NG you are also right. If you see similar multiple lumps along the vessels then you need to see a doctor. If you have doubts about it, you can always get a FNAC of the swelling which will give you the pathological diagnosis which is he base for treatment. Hope your query is ad Chat Doctor. Thank you
