My teenage daughter brought to my attention last week a foul odor coming from her face. It was certainly a foul odor that smelled like rotten cheese. She washed her face over and over again. The salt water from the ocean seemed to help and we didnt notice the odor again until today. I did notice that she had developed what appears to be a white lump on her cheek a few months back. Its not a pimple since nothing had come out, so I was assuming its a cyst. Do you think the foul odor is coming from this cyst. I purposely smelled her check in the location of this bump and surely its come from this lump.
Dear, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query and understood your health concerns. Remedy and cause-of your problem-In my opinion your daughters lump is Acne-with pus discharge. Bad smell is from the anaerobic infection she had.-lately after few months of its cure-NOW your daughter has a Sebaceous Cyst-developed in the same boil, which was incompletely treated then. I would ask you to consult ER surgeon. I suggest you following -Treatment -a-Consult Er Surgeonb-Tab-Nsaidsc-If no relief I would advise Surgical Excision of the face lump. Revert to your doctor on this advise-who would help you. This would help you to resolve your query. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Write review ASAP, with strong recommendations for Me and Chat Doctor to benefit old and new patients. Have a good day. With Chat Doctor. N.
