Possible Cyst?

[Glickman]

As weird as it seems, ive seen the most correct diagnosing on this forum then any other ive visit.

Anyway, i was wondering if someone had something similar.

I feel a lump, on the front of my chin. theres nothing exposed, but it feels like a rather hard lump, like a zit. ive had zits and none have ever been like this. I tried popping it but theres not a single sign of anything breaking the skin

any chance its a cyst?

anyone have any experiances with one?

thanks for taking the time to help my paranoia

I know they can be pretty scary sometimes. My friend had one in his humerus and he didn't know it. Anyway he found out the hard way when he tried pulling himself up on a water trampoline, and the stress from trying to pull himself up caused his humerus to snap in 2 like a twig. Pretty scary, seeing as though we were a mile from my cabin on jet skis.

If it is a cyst, I don't think doctors will remove it as long as it's non-cancerous.

they will remove them cancerious or not, but I doubt it it could be anything at the moment, give it a few days and see what it is

I think you can just go get a cyst drained.

I know this sounds stupid but is it possible it could just be a bug bite? I've had bites that make lumps that dont really itch or anything and look like zits before.. or it could just be a zit that's not poppable yet

Bug Bite- If it is a bug bite, its most likely from a spider or a large ant(fire or something similar) only bug bites that im aware of that get overly hard.

Cyst- Can be removed with out a problem, they tend to be more like a fat build up than a fluid, its about a 10 minute ordeal to have removed, the area is cut open, drained or removed, sown back up and your sent on your way...not much to deal with, had one removed behind my ear a year or two ago, fun stuff!

If you have acne, and you have only noticed this thing in the past few days...
It is a really big zit that is welling up. give it a few days, and dont irritate it.

If you have moles it might be a clear mole coming up.

regardless, if it sticks around for too long see the doc.
