lump under skin

[paulhurley6543]

In march I am having CO2 fractional laser surgery on my face to remove acne scars (red marks, craters etc).

However I also have a large lump under my skin on my left cheek.

I have done lots of research and I can't find anything on the internet about it. It doesn't even seem to have a name. Maybe it is unique to me. The doctor I saw didn't seem to know anything about it and he didn't know any way to get rid of it.

So what do I do? I just want to know if it can be removed or not but how do I find out?

Obviously if it can be removed, now is the time because if it is cut open it will leave a scar then the laser treatment will remove that scar.

Thank you

Could it be a cyst? I had one removed a couple of years ago. I have a scar but it's only tiny and very slightly indented. Had to go private though as the NHS wouldn't do it - it was classed as cosmetic.
