Big Lump On My Face Full of Blood ? Posted: 07-18-07 00:06am
sorry this is so long, but i'm trying to
give as much detail as i can:
i've had this lump on my face for awhile
now. Maybe like 3 years. It's fluctuated
in size through out the years. When i
first noticed it, was when i was about 13
and it was a brown lump about the size of
a dime but a little smaller. It's on my
cheek. It was brown and my skin was really
loose. It looked like maybe it was filled
with blood? but i never touched it. I just
let it shrink in size. A year later it was
still visible to me at least but it was
noticeably smaller. No discoloration in
fact I was frustrated that it was still
there so I squeezed it really hard and
puss came out. Now I'm 16 and right now
it's back again. dime sized brown lump. I
was using proactiv and went over it with a
cottonball which hurt a lot. and noticed
there was some white puss like stuff on
the cottonball. I proceeded to squeeze the
lump and it shot out a little puss and a
lot of blood. I kept doing this and more
and more blood just poured oout of this
lump. I just wanted to drain all of it out
this one last time. My mom said there were
like 2 or 3 like under eachother so she
took a needle and gently poked it and
squeezed out more blood. I told her to
stop because I don't know what it is. But
maybe you guys will know? It's very firm
around my cheek area still. I REALLY want
to go to the dermatologist but my parents
will never take me. My dad says I'm a guy
i shouldnt care about my looks. My mom
says its too expensive adn she can't
afford it. Does anyone know what this is?
Is it harmful? and a BIG thank you if you
read all that sorry it was so long =/
oh and also I'm a runner and have been
since 5th grade. I'm thinking that what
caused it in the first place was my sweat
just clogged more pores and did something
funky. Is it a cyst?

i think you should see a regular doctor
and explain to him you want to know wht it
is
then maybe he can direct you somewhere or
tell your mom you reeeally need to go to a
derm

will just bleed. its very firm and the
lump is still visible. it's not like a
normal pimple or something its wierd
