Please help if you can! I have one day to decide if I go ahead with having a lump on my cheek surgically removed... It's not painful or infected but I just started to notice it on photos and asked my doctor about it. He referred me to a dermatologist who diagnosed it as a cyst and said it could be removed by a plastic surgeon (as it was on the face). It is relatively small - probably about one cm across - and quite flat (in relation to photos I've seen on the internet whilst scaring myself to death 'doing research'). He said the scar would be slightly longer than the lump, but I am anxious now that the scar will be about 1inch long and because I have problem skin will end up being raised, puckered etc. Does anyone have any experience of this that would help me to decide if I should go ahead or not? The appointment is in two days' time, so if I am not going to do it then I need to let them know tomorrow.
