Lump/Facial Skin question 1 Attachment(s) I've been asking quite a bit of my family about this.. I had a bug bite on my cheek last June that for some reason bothered me to the point that I was scratching it and picking it.. When it scabbed, I would rip the scab off.. This was constant up until about two weeks ago.. Its "healed" now.. but its a brown lump.. My mother told me I should go to the Drs to see about having it lazered or cut off and get a biopsy because it could have turned into skin cancer (from picking and not letting it heal).. Heres a pic of me that I noticed it in.. It really bothers me be/c its a lump and I always want to pick at it.. grr.. I don't know what to do... |

yea i would definitely see a doct about it..better safe than sorry ya know?! =/ |
I would definately see a dermatologist. |
A dermatologist is just what you need. If he determines it is just a scar (probably) he can prescribe a cream that will fade it better than anything you can buy OTC. |
Some people's make up causes them to scare more easily than other. My second son had major problems with that. Go to the doc. for peace of mind and then make decisions as how to proceed. |
its probably a scar... scars always heal darker at first on your skin and can turn a brown color if exposed to the sun... but i'd have it checked just to be safe.. if it is a scar with time it will fade. but it's really unusual for a bug bite to stick around for that long.. picking at it or not... was it a large bug? |
Yep, I agree with everyone else. I would definitely go see a Dermatologist for peace of mind. |
